Garbage disposals are workhorses — until they aren’t. Keep yours running smoothly (and stink-free) with these simple tips:
🔧 Do This Weekly
- Run cold water for 15–30 seconds before and after use.
- Toss in a few ice cubes and lemon peels to freshen and sharpen blades.
🚫 Never Put In:
- Grease or oil
- Coffee grounds
- Eggshells
- Pasta, rice, or stringy vegetables (like celery)
🧼 If It Clogs or Smells:
- Unplug it or turn off the breaker first!
- Use tongs (never hands) to remove debris.
- Pour in a mix of baking soda + vinegar, wait 10 minutes, then flush with hot water.
- Still stuck? A hex key underneath may manually free the motor.
