I put citrus peels down my disposal all the time to make it smell nice AND so the citrus can "clean" the blades. (Hint: whenever you're out at restaurant and they bring you water, ask for lemon in it and take it home, beats buying lemons, they throw away so many perfectly good lemon/lime slices at restaurants. I also grab my friends' lemons/limes. It embarrasses the heck out of Tom, he thinks people think we're too poor to afford to buy lemons we have to take them home! ;-> )
However, I do slice them up small. I keep them in water in the fridge, so they stay soft. OR, you can freeze the cut up ones and then plunk them down with HOT water to soften.
A plumber told me to put baking soda and ice cubes down every month or so to "sharpen" the blades. I'm not sure if he was pulling my leg. I sometimes do it.
