Disposal Cleaner and Deodorizer

Our disposal was always... slimy. It was disgusting. When I bought this I just wanted a way to clean the disposal, not thinking about the slime or if this would help or not. I was just hoping to clean my kitchen a little more thoroughly, and get rid of the pipe funk that happens now and then with the changing of the seasons. Well I used it the day I got it. My disposal was so gross I used the recommended 2 tablets for a first time washing, twice. So 4 tablets when it was all said and done. It says it has a virus scent, which I caught a hint of, but it was super strong at all. You get more smell or of peeling an orange. So the scent shouldn't be bothersome at all. And ALL of the nasty slime was gone! I haven't smelled the pipe fun yet, slime hasn't come back. Definitely buying again.

I've used both this disposal cleaner as well as the washing machine cleaner for the mildew stink that can develop in the drum. Both products have worked as advertised and made me very happy. I have to say that I also LOVED that the instruction video was done by someone who was more representative of all of us in the USA, not just the white portion. SO, I don't know much more than that, but from what I do know, I'm proud to support this business. Also, got a hand written note on the information card that came with the product. I appreciated you sharing more about the business with me. Thank you! scent: baking soda and a hint of lemon, no chemical smell easy to use excellent value for money Good luck y'all! From Texas.

Edit to original review: Much to my surprise, the company sent me a full product refund along with their apologies for my experience. I didn't ask for a refund, they just offered it. That sort of customer service is rarely seen these days. It is for that reason that I am changing my review to four stars and I will, in fact, give the product another chance. A company that stands behind their product like this one deserves to be supported. Thank you for your excellent customer service! Original review: Yes I know how to use them, yes I read and followed the instructions, and no they don't work. No scent, no foam, no nothing.

We had a washer just have the most horrible smell. I tried the tablets that are pretty popular in the store right now. I tried the bleach and vinegar and baking soda thing with hot loads of water. Nothing I did seem to work. I watched a professional cleaner talk about the importance of having your machine have maintenance. But he said if you're not going to or can't do maintenance yet try these products I found on Amazon. Well, it was this product! So what he did was he showed a washer on the inside before he used this tablet. He put it back together and then he showed it after. He did the same using another popular store brand we're all used to... This one works so much better! I was very impressed and I have showed all of my family who also loves these now too! Don't forget to look out their dishwasher tabs as well. I just think this is a really quality product without all of the harsh chemicals that clearly don't do the job They say they are supposed to. This is a great product that works the way it says it will! Plus there's no risk considering their free returns. But trust me, you won't return this!

Like several others here, I have experienced that the product does not disolve in the drain after following the instructions to a T. The large tablets of white pressed powder are so firmly compressed they do not dissolve right away; instead they go right down the drain completey intact. Not to be out-done, I experimented. What eventually worked fairly well is the following procedure. While you are having the preliminary hot water flowing down the drain, as instructed: (1) Take two tablets & place them on a folded (doubled) paper towel on you counter. Use a tiny hammer, or something similar, and pound on the tablets, one at a time, until they are beaten to little crumbs. (Do not beat hard enough to damage your counter. The towel catches the crumbs and protects the counter surface.) (2) Put the crumbs in a small bowl (4-6 inches in diameter). And fill with warm or hot tap water. (3) When the preliminary water running is done, and with the disposal running, start pouring the dissolved powder GRADUALLY, SLOWLY into the drain. (I tried it all at once; the powder did not foam.) By pouring in small slurps, it eventually started foaming. Not at first.) Overview of result. I think I may need to use two tablets every time, not just the first time. That doubles the cost per cleaning. I was still not pleased with the foaming action. There was not a lot of it and it disappeared far too soon. But it was there for a while. Hopefully it was enough to kill the bacteria. Seems like a product should be made that can dissolve much more quickly and foam much puffier. The product is packaged in a very wide, very flat/shallow box (as though they were thin chocolate candies to choose among.) This is quite unhandy as it is too easy to mis-handle it, for it to tip over and spill all the tablets out. (They ARE wrapped.) It does not fit handily under my kitchen sink. Would be better to put the tablets in a plastic, zip-lock bag or a taller, less wide cardboard box--more like a cube or dish detergent or cereal box.

Active really does make the best appliance cleaning products. I first stumbled across Active products when needing to do a deep clean on my washing machine, when all other products failed. With one tablet it got out more gunk than any of the others did. I was immediately impressed. I cant see the gunk coming out of the disposal, but I can say that our disposal smells a million times better using this than any other garbage disposal cleaning product I have tried to date. The icing on the cake to my lasting loyalty to this brand is the hand written note that came with this box of garbage disposal cleaners. 10/10 would recommend!

I had such high hopes this product would clean the gunk I could and couldn’t see in my disposal. As per the instructions on the box and on their web site, I ran the disposal to make sure it was cleaned out, ran the water until it was extremely hot, slowed the water down to a trickle and moved the faucet to the side, dropped in 2 bare tablets, and turned the disposal on. I heard a couple of crunching sounds for a second or two as the tablets were broken up and quickly washed away, but there was NO foam, NO cleaning, NO deodorizing and NO citrus smell. I was looking down the drain the whole time. After a minute I turned the disposal off and the inside of the disposal was just as gunky and dirty looking as before trying this useless product. As the hot water was still trickling down the drain, I dropped in a third tablet and watched it just sit in the disposal for about 30 seconds while it did nothing – no foaming or dissolving, nothing. So I turned the disposal back on for a minute and it disappeared but nothing more. 21 tablets to go and I doubt these work any better than had I dropped in some Lifefavers candy. The next morning, I crushed two packets into powder and poured that into the disposal while trickling in hot water. I could see about in inch of foam form, so I turned on the disposal for a minute while it disappeared. I could see NO difference in how clean the inside of the disposal looked and couldn’t smell a citrus odor. You are not supposed to run the Badger brand disposal while running hot water through it so I hope I didn’t damage it during my futile two days of trying to clean it with this product.

The garbage disposal in our new apartment (new to us) is absolutely disgusting. The smell coming from this is is rancid. I can see into the disposal and can tell it was never cleaned, ever. I recently purchased the washing machine cleaner and noticed these when I was checking out. I thought I would give them a try since nothing else is helping with the disposal. Per the instructions I only needed to use 1 tablet based on the HP for the disposal, but it was recommended to use 2 the first time if it was particularly gross. So I threw 2 in the disposal and let it go. The amount of disgusting stuff that came up in the foam made me sick! I couldn't belive how much gunk it got out after 1 use! Now, my disposal is still gross but I can tell it is WAY more clean than it was before I used this product. It says to use 2 times a month to keep it clean but I almost want to use it everyday to get that totally clean. Don't sleep on these tablets. Get them now! I am going to be purchasing the dishwasher tablets next!!!!

What an easy way to clean out your disposal. Just drop in 1 tablet with a slow stream of hot water and in 60 seconds you have a clean disposal. No more smelly disposal.

Didn't see lots of foam but think this cleaned my garburetor as needed.

Our plumber recommended these tabs. We are unsure if the tabs are actually working or making difference. They take awhile to dissolve. They smell fresh.

If I could give these 0 stars, I would. My disposal is a brand listed as being compatible, even though the instructions for these tabs are not (should not use hot water while running the disposal). I followed the instructions to the letter, including leaving the water hot when down to a pencil-thickness trickle, but the tab was chewed up in under 2 seconds and gone... ZERO foam, and no chance it cleaned anything. I re-read the instructions and even went to the website from the QR code on the package - same result and I wasted a second tab. Used the form on that same QR-code website to contact the seller on 07 March (it's now 14 March) and have received NO response. My return is already in progress.

The garbage disposal cleaner, unfortunately, did not live up to my expectations. Despite following the instructions, it didn't seem to effectively eliminate odors or improve the performance of the disposal. The cleaning results were not as noticeable as anticipated, leaving a sense of disappointment. I will try the rest of the ones left maybe it was a bad one..
