Disposal Tips
Whoever pays attention to their garbage disposal? Probably no one, unless and until it starts acting up. Here are a few tips for keeping your disposal clean and healthy:
- Run a strong flow of cold water through the disposal whenever it's in use, and then for at least 20 seconds after turning off
- To freshen your disposal, periodically grind a half lemon or lime while running cold water
- Never put fibrous foods like celery, corn husks, potato or onion skins in the disposal.
- Never use a liquid drain opener in a clogged disposal; use tongs, pliers or a plunger to remove obstructions. And never, ever try to unclog when the motor is running!
