I don’t know about you, but I love this time of year. Yes, it can get hectic. That’s why I look for easy essential oil DIYs to make my life easier, and to make my home smell like the holidays.
There’s always more activity in the kitchen during the holidays. Our dear friend, the garbage disposal, can smell like a nightmare when it’s neglected. It works so hard for us — churning and disposing of dish washing leftovers — that it’s time to give it a nice holiday refresher.

This sounds like a fantastic diy, I’m
Definitely going to need to make these because with all the cooking coming up the disposal does get pretty stank! Thanks for another fantastic diy!
I like the kitchen sink drain smell remover. I look forward to trying it.
I love this simple DIY!!! It makes a stinky drain smell so much better, instantly. The gingerbread oil smells sooooo lovely! Every kitchen drain needs this oil.
Would this work with a different scent as well? For non-holiday times.
Absolutely!
I already use baking soda, vinegar and essential oil for cleaning. I would think when properly diluted any essential oil should be safe. Anxious to try this recipe. Was thinking my garbage disposal was needing something.
Would this be safe for any type of sink finish, such as stainless steel, ceramic etc.
