Tips for a Happy Garbage Disposal
As much as we enjoy sending our friendly plumbers and electricians to your homes to meet you and repair your appliances, we also like to help you prevent mishaps. And with every big meal that you plan, you’ll need to be careful with your garbage disposal – so here are a few tips to keep it running smoothly:
- Use COLD water with your garbage disposal; hot water has been known to cause the motor and other moving parts to overheat.
- Always feed the disposal a little at a time – don’t overwhelm it. And of course, keep your fingers (and utensils) out of the drain.
- While some disposals can handle small bones, it’s a good rule of thumb to avoid letting ANY bones go down the disposal drain.
- Even after the food has cleared the shredder, keep the water running another 30 – 60 seconds, as it still has some travelling to do.
- A great way to clean and clear your disposal is to make ice cubes with lemon juice or vinegar. Turn the cold water on, turn the disposal on, and then toss the ice cubes in (a couple at a time). Putting in small slices of orange peels can keep your disposal smelling good, as well.
- Usually, common sense helps us know what should and should not go down the disposal, but sometimes, especially when we’re in a rush, we can get careless. Here are a few things that should NOT meet your disposal: Egg shells (they turn into a sandy substance that can clog the pipes), fruit pits (think avocados and peaches), banana peels, unpopped popcorn kernels, corn husks or corn cobs, and grease.
- Finally, be kind to your garbage disposal and it will be kind to you.
