Garbage Disposal Smell?

[JeeperCreeper]

Is there anything that wouldn't be poisonous I could use to get rid of a smell coming from my garbage disposal? I've tried Ice cubes and lemon but it's still there. I also have a backup in my dishwasher could they be connected?

It's most likely connected. Until you clean up the clog, the smell will remain. Once you clean out the drain, run your dishwasher using Tang or similar citrus powder, and use hot water. It should make the system smell better.

The black hose from the air gap to the disposal can also contribute.
Take an old dish washing brush and clean the under side of the splash guard.
That's the rubber thing in the drain opening you push the food through.

Try ice cubes with some scouring powder like Comet.

Since the DW drain should be installed before the drain trap, the clog is probably the problem.

you need to plink your sink! go to bed bath and beyond and buy some plink. cool little balls that you throw into your disposall . turn on disposall quickly to break them up and enjoy a nice citrus experience.

Why do I get the feeling there's something missing here?

Why am I confused?

It was a spam attack, which has been corrected.
