How to deal with a Smelly Garbage Disposal? Clean the upper portion of the disposal chamber.

The problem with most disposal cleaning advice (baking soda, lime or lemon peels, ice, and so on) is that they don't get to the part of the disposal that's really dirty.
Like most of the food you put into your disposal, these cleaning solutions primarily stay in the grinding chamber, which by design is self-cleaning. It has food and water washing through it all the time.
As a result, most cleaners simply add a fresh scent to make you think you've cleaned the unit, but of course, the smell comes right back.
Where the real grime resides is along the smooth upper portion of the disposal chamber, which usually has an angled wall, and the underside of the rubber gasket around the mouth of the disposal, which has many grime-trapping folds.
The only way to clean these areas is by hand, and the best tool to use is an old kitchen sponge you're ready to get rid of. Make sure the disposal is off. (And turn off the circuit breaker, if you'd like.)
Run some warm water and start swabbing these areas like you're cleaning out the inside of a big jar. Also get every nook and cranny of the rubber gasket (if your gasket is the removable type, this makes cleaning a lot easier).
When you're done, discard the sponge, and turn on the disposal for a few seconds with the water running. It's a pretty odious task (on par with cleaning a dishwasher filter; not quite as bad as a tub drain), but it's the only thing that really works.
