Use Orange Peels to clean your garbage disposal

Here’s a great use for orange or any other citrus skins from the Wiki article on How To Maintain A Garbage Disposal. Save your orange peelings, cut them into manageable pieces, then toss them into a bag in the freezer. When your garbage disposal starts getting stinky, turn on some cold water then toss in a few frozen orange pieces while the disposal is running. It makes a horrible racket, but smells great. The frozen pieces also knock off any gunk that is stuck on the disposal blades. I’ve tried this several times and it works great with no damage to the disposal. My family loves fresh-squeezed orange juice, and this is a great use for all the otherwise wasted peelings.
