🧊 Vinegar Ice Cubes: The Secret Weapon Your Garbage Disposal Didn’t Know It Needed

Let’s be real:

Your garbage disposal smells like death, and no amount of citrus peels or air freshener is fixing it.

But there’s a weirdly satisfying, almost stupidly simple trick to nuke those odors and sharpen the blades at the same time—and it costs less than a cup of coffee.

Vinegar. Ice. Cubes.

No joke. This DIY cleaning hack is straight-up genius. And we use it in our deep cleans all the time at Evergreen Maid Services—because it

works.

💡 Why Vinegar + Ice Cubes?

Let’s break down the magic:

Vinegar is a natural disinfectant. It kills odor-causing bacteria that’s been chilling in the dark corners of your disposal for weeks (or months—yikes).Ice hardens and scrapes off the gunk that’s built up on your blades and chamber walls. Think of it like exfoliating your garbage disposal.

Combined? You’re blasting nasty smells, bacteria, and buildup—without chemicals, and without taking the whole thing apart.
