Ice cubes can work too
You can try the ice cube method. Put down the drain a few ice cubes with cold water and run the water and the disposal until you hear no more ice. This will clean the garbage disposal blades plus sharpen them.

Use a few lemons
Next, you can take a whole lemon slice it up into eight pieces then turn the cold water on and start putting the slices down the drain one at a time. Sometimes you may not have to use eight pieces. But lemons can help put a fresh new odor in your kitchen and sink.
Use baking soda and vinegar
So you can take baking soda and vinegar to freshen up your disposal. Just take half a cup of baking soda and pour it down the drain and let it sit for about 30 minutes so the garbage disposal can absorb the odor then take a cup of vinegar and pour that down the drain and let it work with the baking soda for about 10 minutes. Then turn on the cold water with the garbage disposal for about 15 seconds.
