Use the cleaning method and products approved for the exact disposer. Bleach is not a general substitute for removing accumulated food, and InSinkErator's guidance advises against using it in its disposers.
What the observation tells you
A strong disinfectant smell does not establish that hidden residue has been removed. Chemicals can also meet substances already present in the sink or drain, so never mix bleach with another cleaner or an acid-based home remedy.
A useful next step
Clean permitted removable accessories and accessible surfaces as directed, with the necessary isolation. Persistent contamination or odour after correct cleaning should prompt assessment of the appliance and drainage rather than a stronger chemical dose.
Manuals and supporting guidance
Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
