Keep disposal fresh and clean.. if you have an awful smell in your garbage disposal, don't worry. Just sprinkle a bit of baking soda and about two squirts of your favorite dish liquid into the garbage disposal. If you have a small brush, bottle bursh or a clean toilet brush you can scrub out the inside of the garbage dispoal fast leaving it clean and fresh smelling.
REMEMBER NEVER TO TURN ON THE DISPOSAL WHILE CLEANING!!!! After you have scrubbed thoroughly and you are sure that you got around the rubber gaskets good, you can then only then turn on the water and the disposal with the brush out. Run for a few minutes. If you like the citrus scent then throw a cut up lemons or limes and run them through when you turn on the disposal using lots of water.
OR
Make vinegar ice cubes and feed them down the disposal. After grinding run cold water through. The grinding effect of the ice will sort out any stubborn items and it will remove the orders and smells as well.

Looks like everyone has the right idea. Cut up a couple lemons, put them down your disposal (running), and it will make your disposal smell better.

I put a half of a lemon and some ice cubes in my disposal to make it smell better. The ice cubes help to clean it and the lemons help to freshen it.

Everyone is right about the lemons, but someone told me to run a bunch of ice through it with the lemons. That worked good, too. It supposedly gets the lemon into more nooks & crannies.

baking soda and vinegar, let it bubble up good and set for about 10 or so minutes, run hot water down drain to clear remaining soda. It should then smell fresher. You may have to repeat process.
