DIY Garbage Disposal Maintenance Tips

Avoid a broken garbage disposal. Follow the DIY garbage disposal tips below to help prevent unnecessary repairs in the future.

Avoid Larger Size Garbage. Avoid putting anything large down your drain. If you can, you should always throw and scraps or trash in the real garbage. Items like grease, oil, pasta, potato skins and eggshells should also be avoided.
Always Run Water. Running cold water when you use your garbage disposal will help get rid of waste as it becomes ground and help reduce clogs. Water works to lubricate the motor, bearings and blades. Run your faucet for at least 30 seconds after you stop the disposal.
Use Ice Cubes. Ice cubes help clean the sharp-edged blades and ensure your waste is being properly ground. Don’t forget to run cold water still!
Grind Citrus Peels. If your disposal starts to smell, try putting some lemon or orange peels down the drain. Remember, the rinds should be cut small, and the water should be running.
