Some non-toxic stuff works just as well. I took plain ol' baking soda to my sink and it sparkles *grin* There's also the vinegar&peroxide method. Now, I admit I've not tried it but it is supposed to clean AND disinfect. I've used vinegar...in fact, put baking soda down your disposal side or the other and wait a bit then pour some vinegar down it and watch it bubble it clean and leave it smelling fresh. Yikes! I sound like a commercial. I've not tried that new FIT stuff but I'd put good money on it containing vinegar!

Anyway, for those wanting to know a safer way of disinfecting other than Lysol I'll put up 2 websites that go over the vinegar/peroxide thing. The important thing to remember is that each has to be in its own container not pre-mixed.

They are:

And you didn't ask, but here it is LOL You can also sanatize your sponges in your microwave. Be careful taking them out because they are HOT!

This one I do all the time...especially after wiping up after preparing/cooking chicken.
