Ever tried the citrus peel trick and ended up with a jammed disposal? Happened to me once—turns out smaller pieces are key. Anyone else run into that issue, or was it just my luck...

Honestly, even small citrus peel bits can be risky. I stopped using them altogether after a close call with my disposal. Baking soda and vinegar is safer, cheaper, and still eco-friendly...just my two cents.

Totally agree—citrus peels are tricky. Baking soda and vinegar is my go-to as well. One extra tip: flush with hot water afterward. Keeps things flowing smoothly and helps wash away residue...worked well in my rentals for years.

Yep, baking soda and vinegar saved me more times than I can count. Had a tenant once who loved juicing oranges daily—talk about peel overload. Hot water flush afterward definitely helps, keeps things from getting gunky...good call on that tip.

Did you ever try citrus peels as a natural deodorizer? Had a similar tenant once, but with lemons instead. I ended up drying the peels and tossing a few down the disposal every week or so—it actually kept things smelling fresh. But yeah, hot water flushes are key. Ever had issues with citrus oils building up though? Heard mixed things about that...
