Quick and Simple Tips to Keep Your GARBAGE DISPOSAL Working Like New!
What happens here
Avoid putting starchy foods like rice, pasta, bread, or potatoes into the disposal. These items expand and become clumpy when wet, leading to severe clogs. Also, steer clear of coffee grounds, eggshells, and stringy vegetable peels (like banana or apple peels). Eggshells can form a sand-like sediment that accumulates and causes clogs over time. Long, fibrous peels can wrap around the grinding components, leading to jams or motor strain. For those on a septic system, it's generally best to avoid putting any food waste down the disposal and instead use a compost bin for all food scraps.
Goal: Prevent clogs and damage by knowing which food items should never go into your garbage disposal.
