Tips to Extend Your Garbage Disposal's Life
Whether you are a gourmet chef or a busy mom cooking for the kids, your garbage disposal is a must have. Proper care can prevent major issues and even extend the life of your garbage disposal. Here are five tips to help you get the most out of your garbage disposal:
Use Cold Water When Running It
Cold water helps food scraps harden, making it easier to break down. While hot may seem obvious, the heat causes food to cling to the pipes instead of being ground by the blades.
Not EVERYTHING Is Garbage Disposal "Friendly"
Be Aware of What You Put Down the Drain. Some things are obvious "no-go's", are metal and plastic. Others include fats, oils, or grease. Avoid fibrous vegetables, such as celery. Also, Throw bones in the trash, not your disposal.
Send citrus peels down the drain. They help clean the blades and remove odor.
Flush with Boiling Water. Once a month, pour boiling water down the drain. This clears accumulated particles from the pipes and run the Disposal for Extra Time.
After you have finished, allow the disposal to run for another minute or two with cold water and a bit of dish soap. This ensures that all the food scraps are fully flushed out. If you do run into problems, it is always a good idea to call a professional. Here at Save 2 Day Plumbing, we are always just a phone call away. Don't hesitate, give us a call!
