Todays tip has become very helpful for me. Living on the bottom floor of an condo building it seems like we get the smell of everyones garbage disposal in ours... gross! After finding this tip from Fun Home Things I have made sure we do this once a week. It works great and smells great . When I was looking for a disposal cleaner on Pinterest I saw a lot with vinager my husband hates when I clean with it so I was happy to find one using lemon juice.

I'm glad you managed to find a way around the smell you're getting from your neighbors' garbage disposals. It's not good to bombard a cleaner with too much essential oils, as the smell can get pretty strong, no matter how good it is. So, I love how you landed on lemon juice as the main fragrance. After all, the smell it produces is more fresh and organic. Anyway, thanks for sharing that quick recipe, Kristina! All the best! :)
