I vote for a couple of gallons of boiling water, not just hot water, poured down the drain followed by a whole gallon of clorox. Do all this while the disposal is running.


first run a lot of ice cubes thru the disposal, then very hot water and finally bleach

the ice tends to clean the blades of the unit


Disposals don't puree, they just chop, so there are likely sizeable
chunks left to rot. Reach a hand down to pick out the chunks, then run
some citrus peel through the disposal without water, then with hot water.
