This is a tip from my Grandma S about garbage disposals. First of all, if you have one (which I currently don't but wish I had) I hope you know you are supposed to run it on occasion. Always run it with water.
If your garbage disposal starts to smell, run some citrus peels through it.
If you don't have a garbage disposal and your sink starts to smell, pour baking soda and lemon juice down the drain. Let it sit for a while before running water through it. Vinegar will also work if you don't have lemon juice but won't smell as nice (in my opinion).
Another lesson learned the hard way... never leave silver ware in the sink with a garbage disposal!
