Yes, you can pour orange juice down the kitchen sink drain or garbage disposal, but you should always follow it immediately by running a generous stream of cold water. While citrus juices contain natural citric acid that can help deodorize and freshen a smelly disposal grinding chamber, letting sticky sugary fruit juices sit stagnant inside your disposal or drain pipes can attract fruit flies, promote bacterial slime growth, and contribute to clogs. Verification: Flush the disposal and P-trap thoroughly with cold water for 30 seconds after pouring juices.
