One thing you can do to clean your disposal. Fill the sink fully with warm, very sudsy water, as warm as your hand can stand. Turn the disposal on, then pull out the sink stopper. The sudsy water will swirl down the disposal furiously, cleaning the unit. OF COURSE be careful not to put your hand in the disposal.

Another thing I do is take paper towels (disposal off) and wipe off the underside of the rubber collar. Stuff gets on that and turns black and slimy.
