Following our previous discussion here is more - from Consumer Reports; "How to Clean Practically Anything." (The numbering is mine.)

Garbage Disposal Units

1. To avoid buildup, grind only small amounts at a time; run the unit whenever you put waste in it.

2. Periodically leave it on for a few extra moments so the grinding totally empties it. (Always run water while the disposal unit is turned on.)

3. Most manufacturerers suggest allowing the unit to run for 20-60 seconds after audible grinding is finished.

4. Break up grease deposits by occasionally grinding ice cubes, fruit pits, or small chicken bones.

5. Deodorize by pouiring 1/2 cup of baking soda into a sink filled halfway with water, turn on the disposal, and pull up the stopper.

6. Or grind citrus peelings.
