Garbage Disposal Cleaning Ingredients:

- 1 cup of salt
- 1/4 cup cream of tarter
- 4-5 cups boiling water
- citrus rinds
Directions for a sweet smelling garbage disposal:
- Mix the baking soda, salt and cream of tarter together.
- Pour 1/2 of this mixture down the garbage disposal.
- Flush with 2 cups of boiling water
- Repeat with the rest of the baking soda mixture and flush with the remainder of the boiling water.
