Here's a disturbing image. Never knew Youngstown had a SpokesDisposer.

Somewhat on topic.....

I was wondering if anyone out there had any interesting ways of cleaning and deordorizing their disposals. I generally put a cup of ice down there and a cup of Sun Light Dishwasher detergent (the chlorine based stuff)and grind it up. I leave it sit in there for a while then flush with hot water. Leaves that stinking GE fresh, at least for a short while anyways. Sometimes I'll also grind up a lemon or other citrus fruit. Anyone else have any suggestions?

"spokesdisposer"interesting--It would be appriopriate that a company that builds dishweashers would provide disposers as well-The Dishwasher and disposal were considered the kitchen clean-up crew.
Yes-grinding ice cubes and detergent is a good way to flush out a smelly disposer-used that method when I moved into a home.If you do shred lemon or orange peels to freshen a disposer-make sure thay are thouroughly ground and flushed away-the skins contain acids that will corrode disposer parts if they are left in it.The ice does a super job of scraping away the "slime" that forms in disposals that don't get many bones(chicken bones are best).Household disposals don't handle large pork or beef bones well-same as clam or oyster shells.

I've seen several products for cleaning disposers at my supermarket.
