Garbage Disposal Dos and Dont’s
The Dos of Garbage Disposal Systems
✓ Cold water is a must. Running hot water can cause fats and grease to liquefy, later solidifying and clogging pipes.
✓ Keep the water running. Running water will ensure an even flow through the disposal.
✓ Don’t stop grinding too early. Run the garbage disposal for at least 15 seconds after the food has gone through to ensure that the disposal has been properly cleared of all debris.
✓ Regular running prevents problems. Disposals that aren’t used frequently can rust and the engine can corrode.
✓ Smaller pieces = better success. Don’t try to run large items through your disposal. Keep them small and cut them up when needed.
The Dont’s of Garbage Disposal Systems
Don’t stick any objects – including fingers! – into the disposal to clear a jam.
Trash belongs in the garbage, not the disposal. Never put plastic, glass, metals, fabrics, hair, rubber or paper into the disposal.
Grease and oil will cause clogs. Although they may go through your disposal, they will solidify in your pipes, causing future problems.
When in doubt, throw it out! If you aren’t sure if something can go down the garbage disposal, just toss it in the trash.
