Garbage Disposals
Preventative Maintenance
-
Never put hard to grind,
stringy, or fibrous waste in the garbage disposal, such as, poultry skins,
celery, fruit pits, and banana peels.
-
Run cold water down the
plumbing drains before and after using the electric garbage disposal to
flush plumbing waste down the main plumbing drain lines.
-
Once a week run hot water
down the plumbing drains to help keep your pipes free-flowing down to the
sewer so you wont have to call a plumbing drain professional.
-
Offensive odors can occur
from a build up of food debris inside your electric garbage disposal. To
eliminate these odors, place ice cubes and lemon peels in the plumbing
disposal and run it for about thirty seconds, then rinse with cold water
down the plumbing drains.
