Take Care of Your Garbage Disposal

If you take good care of your garbage disposal, you won’t have to call us for help as often. Here are some things you can do to keep your disposal in great working order.

Don’t put grease down it. This can harden once it cools down, created clogs in your disposal. It can also gum up the blades, which makes your disposal less effective and may cause large chunks to get through it.
Don’t put coffee grounds down it. Sure, throwing away your coffee grounds can be annoying, but that’s better than having to repair your disposal all the time. Coffee grounds become a sort of sludge that can stick to parts of your disposal, making it harder for them to work well.
Always run water when your disposal is on. This is the way it is designed to work. If you don’t run water, then it’s harder for things to progress all the way through your disposal to the drain. They can get stuck, causing clogs and more. Keep the water running for a few seconds after you turn the disposal off, too, just to ensure everything is out.
Know where your disposal key is. Most garbage disposals come with a small key that you can insert into the bottom to turn it manually if it gets stuck. These can help you get things all the way through the disposal even if the blades don’t want to move on their own. Never force it but do use this when you need to.
