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

Garbage disposals are a convenient appliance found in many modern kitchens. They help to reduce food waste and keep your kitchen clean and fresh. However, like any other appliance, proper maintenance is key to ensuring the disposal works efficiently and lasts a long time.

Do's

  • Run cold water before and after use to help move the food smoothly through the disposal.
  • Use a citrus fruit or vinegar ice cubes to freshen up the disposal and eliminate odors.
  • Grind hard materials like small chicken bones or ice cubes to clean and sharpen the blades.
  • Regularly clean the rubber splash guard and the outer surface of the disposal to prevent buildup and mold.

Don'ts

  • Avoid putting overly fibrous foods like onion skins, celery, or corn husks into the disposal.
  • Never pour grease or oil down the disposal as it can solidify and clog the pipes.
  • Avoid grinding large food items or large quantities at once to prevent overworking the motor.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals to clean the disposal as they can damage the unit.

Proper maintenance of your garbage disposal not only prolongs its lifespan but also ensures it runs smoothly when needed. By following these simple do's and don'ts, you can keep your disposal in top shape and avoid costly repairs.
