Will orange slices and peels keep a garbage disposer from smelling bad?

Appliance upkeep and easy fixes

Yes, tossing an orange or lemon peel into the disposer will help keep it from smelling bad. The oils in the peel will clean the inside of the disposer and give it a fresh scent. Don’t go overboard, though! Stuffing a half an orange into the disposer won’t do it any favors.
