Bad Smell From Garbage disposal

Most of the time the smell is rotting food. but it is not necessarily coming from the disposal it's self but from the hose that comes from the Air gap

The Item in the center of this picture is the air gap
The blue green item on the right is what The air gap looks like from under the sink.
Two hoses hook up to the ends of this air gap the small one is connected to the dishwasher the larger is connected to your garbage disposal. The large hose that ties into the garbage disposal gets full of sludge from the food you put into the disposal and it rots there.

The solution to this problem is to remove the hose from the air gap and the disposal (just loosen the hose clamps and pull) clean out the hose or replace the hose. Use Bio-Clean and follow the directions
Do you need help with this project?

Also if you get water coming out of the air gap. This also means the hose needs to be cleaned out.
