How To Care for Your Garbage Disposal
Proper care is crucial for maintaining a functional garbage disposal and avoiding unnecessary repairs. To maintain your disposal, flush it with cold water while running it to remove debris. Refrain from putting bones, fruit pits, or hard objects down the disposal.
Run cold water during and after use to solidify oils, helping prevent clogs. Routinely check for leaks, unusual noises, or foul odors, which could indicate potential issues.
Avoid putting these foods into your garbage disposal:
- Potato peels
- Bones
- Nuts
- Hard seafood shells
- Coffee grounds
- Corn husks
- Grease & fat
- Eggshells
Though coffee grounds and eggshells won’t damage the unit and can sharpen the blades, they also contribute to drain clogs.
