Thursdays's Thrifty Tip

Today's Thursday Thrifty Tip: Don't use your garbage disposal. To keep it smelling fresh and flowery say "NO" to citrus peels and instead pour some Lavender Pine Sol in the drain.

Don't Do This!
This is a two-fold remedy for cleaning AND deodorizing. In a nut shell: citrus has a high acidity level. There are rubber and plastic parts that carry that acid away. The skin of the citrus will expand to 5 times it's normal size when left sitting in water. Try it. Then try to move that down 60 to 70 to hundreds of feet of pipe.

 Do This! 
So class, in review: $4.88 for a giant bottle of Pine Sol is a LOT less expensive than $288 for a drain cleaning. Right?
