Garbage Disposal Maintenance Tips for Longevity

Taking proper care of your garbage disposal can significantly extend its lifespan and ensure it operates optimally. Follow these simple maintenance tips:

  • Run cold water with disposal: Always run cold water during and after using the disposal to prevent overheating.
  • Clean your disposal regularly: Use a mixture of baking soda and vinegar to eliminate odor and clear debris.
  • Avoid hard foods: Bones and fibrous materials can damage your system—dispose of these in the trash instead.
  • Check for clogs: Periodically inspect for clogs that could impair performance.
  • Schedule professional maintenance: A yearly professional check-up can catch potential issues early.
  • Ensure proper installation: Professional installation is essential for smooth operation. Whether you’re replacing an old unit or installing a new one, expert installation ensures it’s connected properly to plumbing and electrical systems.

By incorporating these habits into your kitchen routine and relying on professional maintenance and installation, you can save money and headaches down the road.
