What is this product? I have never heard of this. Does it clean the sink? the dishes? The drain? Could someone please explain what this is, I feel like a moron. Thanks
 
Leah~SO not a moron!!!

I like to call it a "breath mint" for the sink!

*Deodorizes your sink with a Fresh Lemon & Rosemary scent
*Cuts grease
*Convenient & easy to use
*Safe for disposals & drains
*Use as often as desired to refresh your sink from odors

All the above came from the side of the box!! LOL!

FYI~half a tab works wonderfully!

HTH!
 
Yeah I would use it for the disposal. Sometimes is starts to get a nasty smell. :D UGH.
 
I tell my guests it's like a Polident for your sink. You plop it right in your dirty dishwater. When it stops fizzing, drain and rinse your sink. It's sparkling clean and smells heavenly.

Thanks all...I still think I don't get the point, but maybe I'll get some and try it out.
 
You must be one of the lucky ones without a stinky sink. Just go stick your nose over it and you will see.
 
I think I need to use some more of mine--I've noticed my sink starting to stink!
