garbage disposal

I usually clean my disposal by pouring baking soda and vinegar down it or pieces of some kind of citrus fruit, but neither of those are working on it currently and it smells funky. Any other recs for non-chemical cleaners?

I drop my coffee grounds/filter in every morning and run it - no smell, no chemicals.

Try putting ice down it. I know that is supposed to sharpen the blades so it might also get anything off that is stuck on the blades and making it stinky.

Thanks ladies -- these are both great suggestions. I will try them both!

Interesting. I never heard this and think I'll try it.

i second the ice and coffee grounds! works wonders!! also run hot water through it for 30 seconds after you shut the disposal off.
