I use this to remove odor and sanitize the kitchen sink, it is also good for the garbage disposal, just pour the ingredients inside and run it for a few seconds. You can also buy garbage disposal pods at the store that work well :https://chemistrycachet.com/homemade-deodorizing-kitchen-sink-scrub/

Natural Ways to Clean Your Garbage Disposal
I just threw in a used lemon. Any citrus fruit will work.
need to check the drain hose to & from dishwasher(if you have one) it probably needs cleaned; here are a few ways to deodorize disposals-----Adding baking soda along with some dawn dish soap(cuts grease build up) and let sit over night then rinse with boiling water while running disposal; Add 2 fresh lemons cut into quarters into disposal then add 1 cup boiling water to release oil from lemon, turn on disposal however do not completely grind them until they are gone let them sit in disposal the longer the better(over night) continue grinding following day with additional 1cup boiling water; Add boiling vinegar into disposal while running(at least a quart); Add pure lye into dry disposal and drain both sides( if you have 2) let sit a few minutes rinse both sides with hot water
Thanks
Remember to clean the under side of the rubber at the .top of your disposal.
