How to Take Good Care of Your Garbage Disposals
A garbage disposal, otherwise known as waste disposal unit, is a home appliance that shreds food wastes into tiny pieces, usually less than 2 mm, so that they could pass through plumbing. These devices are usually installed underneath shrinks. However, garbage disposal units are one of those kitchen appliances that homeowners usually abused. As a result, most garbage disposal units acquire problems in a short use of time like blade malfunction, which eventually leads to the blockage of drains.
Though garbage disposal units are generally inexpensive, they still are good investments, most especially when maintained properly. The following are some basic but useful tips that could help you keep your garbage disposal units in good working condition.

• Do not dispose of hard to grind food waste through the sink. This kind of food could damage the shredder; make it dull and less efficient. See the packaging of your garbage disposal and read the list of food waste that it could not grind. Just throw these food wastes on your trash can or use it as compost.
• Avoid throwing fibrous food waste down through your sink for they can cause the drain to clog.
• Cut large food wastes into smaller pieces.
• To avoid extreme odors brought by mold and bacteria from the stuck food waste in the appliance, always extract these trapped food particles using tongs, pliers or any other tool that can reach them every after you turn off the device.
• Clean the rest of the appliance by dispensing 1.5 cups of baking soda down through the drain followed by a cup of vinegar. As an alternative for this, you can instead make a solution containing 1 gallon of water and a tablespoon of liquid chlorine bleach. Pour the mixture down through the drain and rinse it with a suitable amount of cold water.
