My kitchen sink has a pretty bad smell coming from the garbage disposal. How do I clean it?

My kitchen sink garbage disposal reeks pretty bad, and I can’t seem to find a good way to keep it clean for more than a week. It’s almost like food waste just sits in there and doesn’t go down the drain. Anyone know a good way to really, REALLY, clean out that area, since it’s hard to get to?

      Your disposal may not be working at full efficiency any more. If it’s more than 10 years old, think about replacing it.

      Other than that, dump some Arm and Hammer Baking soda down there once a week.

      The plastic piping and in that will only clean the disposers but that will only clean out the plumbing under the sink.
