In response to Re: disposer odor
: recently my garbage dispoer (in the sink) has developed an obnoxious odor. it's so bad that when I walk in the front door of the house, I can smell it. : I've tried many different remedies, baking soda, lemons, ice cubes, even products from the local hardware stores and nothin seems to work. : I have a double sink and the odor is only coming from the side with the dispoer. last nite I disassembled the trap to look and see if anything was stuck in the : drain pipes. Nope - nothing. What else can I do short of replacing the disposer? Brian, You may have to take the disposal out and manually scrub it clean with a stiff brush. Dale's Plumbing Service Inc LMP
