What is a Garbage Disposal?
Garbage disposals are one of the most common household utility items. They have a flat plate with small, rotating steel mashers and an inner disposal wall that has “teeth” to do the job of grinding your food waste. This is a motor-driven device that grinds food waste up into very small pieces so it can be flushed down the drain. When not working correctly, food may not be ground into small enough pieces to be flushed, causing a clog.
Things to Remember While Using the Garbage Disposal
- Always make sure that the water is running whenever the disposal is in use.
- It is better to use your garbage can rather than your disposal. Contrary to what people believe, it is only supposed to catch and get rid of the food particles left on plates after they have been scraped off.
- Potato peels and eggshells will cause your drain to get clogged fast, and so will stringy vegetables like celery.
- Disposals should be run only until the food has been ground up which is usually less than 30 seconds. Ensure to run a full stream of cold water through the garbage disposal while it grinds. Then let the water run for another 30 seconds after you turn off the disposal.
- Fill the disposal with cubed ice about once a week and let it grind the ice without turning on the water at first. Run cold water at the very end. This helps to keep the blades of your garbage disposal in sinks sharp.
