MY GARBAGE DISPOSAL STOPPED WORKING!
Customers ask:Q: How do I avoid garbage disposal problems?
Answer: In many cases, garbage disposal problems are avoidable if you use the unit properly. Keep your unit running smoothly and avoid unnecessary plumbing calls to your home:
- 1. Don't put the wrong objects down your garbage disposal. Your disposal is designed to grind food scraps, not bones or glass or metal!.
- 2.You should avoid putting grease, fat and oil down your drains.
- 3. If you have large food scraps you want to put down your disposal, break them up into smaller pieces.
- 4. Always run your disposal with cold water.
- 5. Clean your disposal with a small amount of dish after use.
- 6. Use your lemon peels! Grind the peels to refresh the drains and generate pleasant smells.
- 7. Don't put your hands down the disposal! Use a tool like tongs or pliers to retrieve objects.
