Cleaning Waste Disposal Unit

Hi

I have a Waste disposal unit built in my sink but it stinks with the food that goes down and some getting clogged up in the little areas.

Any tips on cleaning it without taking it apart or putting my fingers in

Thanks

  • Just unplug it (or switch off the power at the circuit breaker if you can't unplug) and use a bit of elbow grease. In the future make sure you put plenty of water down it after running it, and you shouldn't have trouble with smells.
