How to Maintain Your Garbage Disposal

To avoid unnecessary repairs, be sure to keep your garbage disposal well-maintained.

A few ways to care for your garbage disposal include the following:

• Do not dump coffee grounds into your disposal. They create clogs over time as they stick to the sink pipes.

• Treat your garbage disposal once a month with a few handfuls of baking soda and a half cup of vinegar or Bio-Clean.

• Do not use bleach to clean your disposal––it’ll harden grease and contribute to clogs or pipe breaks.

• Use plenty of water when you grind food and for several seconds afterward.

• Never place your hand or fingers down the disposal, even if you think it is unplugged.

Can You Put Orange Peels Down the Garbage Disposal?

It can be very beneficial to put orange peels and lemon peels down the garbage disposal. These peels need to be cut into very tiny chunks before going down the disposal, but they are considered safe to use. Lemon and orange peels can cut through grease and fat build up within the internal components of the garbage disposal and also will leave a very pleasant citrus smell. Many homeowners use lemon and orange peels to clean their garbage disposals.
