Garbage Disposal Cleaning Tablets

Deodorizing and cleaning garbage disposal units

Materials

  • Citric acid
  • Sodium bicarbonate
  • Essential oil or fragrance

Common claims

  • Freshens disposal
  • Removes buildup
  • Easy drop-in tabs

Concerns / watch-outs

  • Scented versions add fragrance to the kitchen drain plume; choose unscented
