Garbage disposal emits a foul odor even after running with water.

Safety first: Turn off the disposal at the switch.

• Clean splash guard: Remove the Reginox rubber splash guard (if removable) and scrub both sides with hot soapy water and a brush. Rinse thoroughly and reinstall.
• Deodorize chamber: Pour 1/2 cup of baking soda into the disposal, followed by 1 cup of white vinegar. Allow it to foam for 5–10 minutes, then flush with hot water.
• Grind cleaning agents: Run a handful of ice cubes and a few lemon or orange peels through the disposal with cold water to help scrub and freshen the chamber.
• Clean drain trap: If odors persist, remove and clean the P-trap and discharge piping to eliminate sludge.
