For years, we’ve been buying that plink stuff to freshen our disposal, and I finally thought with my actual brain for just half a second.

Surely, I could make something at home that would do the same thing… and since ice is “supposed” to sharpen your disposal blades, maybe I could do one even better.

So I did.
All you need is:

• Vinegar
• Water
• Lemon Juice

Mix one cup of water with one cup of vinegar and add 1/4 of lemon juice.

Then put in an ice tray and freeze.

So, totally and completely simple.  

To use, just run a light stream of cold water…

Drop 2 or three cubes in your disposal and turn it on.

Once the ice is completely ground up, run a stong stream of water to clean it all out.

And that is all.

No more chemically plink.  That’s a good thing!
