Hello everybody -
One of my daily tasks when cleaning my kitchen is cleaning my garbage disposal as well. I can’t stand the idea of food sitting in there over a period of time or residue that creates odor. I used to buy citrus cleaning tablets that you would drop in and grind away. They worked fine but cost about $8.00 for 20. I have two sinks/disposals in my kitchen and used them daily
You can do the math…
One of my main staples when cleaning anything/anywhere is vinegar. I love it. So, when I chose to end my relationship with those little store-bought cleaning tablets, I decided to make my own:
You need lemons and vinegar. I buy vinegar in bulk from Costco. I get two of these jugs for a little over $3.00! 
Slice your lemons and put a piece in each ice cube mold.
Then fill each with vinegar. Do not dilute it.
Here is what you get…
I recommend you put them in a freezer bag – gallon size. If not, you will have a strong sweet smell of vinegar each time you open your refrigerator or freezer door. If you are one of those who tend to fall behind on cleaning out your refrigerator on a regular basis, then maybe that is a good thing !
Do you have your own homemade cleaning product that works just as well as, or is better than, the store-bought version?
Be inspired,

Under The Table And Dreaming
Turning lifetime passion into livelihood. It's about time! I'm Shari. I am a 40-something wife, mother, corporate professional turned design stylist, avid sports fan, and usually exhausted 24/7 keeping up with it all. I love my family, my home, my work...and the chaos that comes with it. I also happen to adore my beagle, Scout. 
Great tip!! I will definitely be using this. Thanks for sharing

Great idea! I prefer using homemade products like this. In addition to being cheaper, they're much safer.
Thanks for sharing at Time Travel Thursday.

This is SO SMART! I think we've all used vinegar and lemons to clean the disposal, but this makes it waaaaaay easier. I'm totally pinning this to share with friends

Great idea! I put vinegar and lemons down the disposal separately, but this is a great way to do them both! Thanks.
Wow! This is a great tip! I will definitely start using this!
WOW, didn't know about this! Thanks for sharing, I will try it for sure!

This is such a fabulous idea!! Just tonight I was lamenting the cost of the cleaner I use and how I hate the smells that come from the disposal. I definitely will be trying this! I'm hosting a new linky party, Simply Sensational Tuesday, on my blog Organizing Homelife and I would love for you to link up this post! http://www.organizinghomelife.com/archives/2863
Great tip! Thanks for sharing.
What a great idea! I HATE cleaning the disposal and nearly gag every time I do. Thanks for linking them up at Creative Me last week… You're the featured blog this coming week!
Do you just drop the cube with the lemon in it and let it melt or do you put it your disposal and then run the disposal?
This is my question too…do you run the disposal when you drop in the lemon cube? Thanks for the great idea!!
