Maintaining Your Garbage Disposal: Do's and Don'ts

Welcome to our blog dedicated to helping you keep your home appliances in top shape! Today, we're focusing on an essential yet often overlooked appliance—the garbage disposal. Proper maintenance of your garbage disposal can extend its lifespan and prevent costly repairs. Let's dive into the do's and don'ts of maintaining your garbage disposal.

The Do's:

  • Run cold water while using the garbage disposal to solidify any grease or oils and help break down food waste.
  • Regularly clean your garbage disposal by grinding ice cubes and citrus peels to eliminate odors and buildup.
  • Use a garbage disposal cleaning product or a mixture of baking soda and vinegar to keep it fresh and clean.
  • Keep your garbage disposal blades sharp by occasionally grinding small bones or ice cubes.

The Don'ts:

  • Avoid putting non-food items, such as glass, plastic, or metal, into the garbage disposal.
  • Avoid disposing of fibrous or starchy foods like celery, potato peels, or pasta, as they can clog the disposal.
  • Avoid pouring grease, oil, or fat down the disposal, as they can solidify and cause blockages.
  • Avoid overloading the garbage disposal with a large amount of food waste at once.

Proper maintenance of your garbage disposal not only ensures its longevity but also contributes to a cleaner and more efficient kitchen. By following these simple do's and don'ts, you can keep your garbage disposal running smoothly for years to come.
