Garbage Disposal Maintenance Tips

In order to prevent frequent repairs and interruption of your disposal usage, Metro Rooter Plumbing Service is pleased to teach you how to lengthen the life of your unit with approachable home remedies. Keep your garbage disposal functioning like new with the following maintenance recommendations:

  • Once a month, pour boiling water down the drain. Oils, greases and fats that are rinsed down the sink may build up within the disposal. Over time, the fats will congeal and obstruct your disposal’s ability to grind. It may also clog the drains and disposal trap, resulting in a costly and unnecessary garbage disposal repair. The boiling water will liquefy the fats and encourage them down the drain. As a rule of thumb, always prevent pouring any types of grease, oil or fats down the drain in order to preserve the integrity of your garbage disposal as well as your pipes.
  • Grind citrus peels in the disposal to maintain a fresher smelling unit. Because food waste is constantly running through the disposal, tiny food particles will accumulate in the unit over time and begin to smell as they break down. The peels of lemons, limes and oranges will release pleasant smelling oils that can combat any foul odors.
  • Pour liquid soap and ice cubes in the disposal to break down and remove built-up residue. The soap and ice cubes will work together to scour the scum inside the grind chamber and help clean the walls of the garbage disposal. The ice will eventually melt and simply pass down the drain. Furthermore, the shards of ice can actually sharpen the blades and more effectively break down organic matter that is put in the disposal. This should be completed once or twice a month.
