How to Use a Garburator/Garbage Disposal

Garbage disposals are frequently disregarded in comparison to other household appliances, but just like any other equipment, there are certain recommended practices to follow when operating garbage disposal to avoid damaging the machine. If you detect a problem, call our plumbers for Vancouver garburator/garbage disposal repair.

Do’s:

  • Flow cold water before and during grinding.
  • Start the garbage disposal with the cold water running. This prevents lipids from clogging the garbage disposal and cools the engine, increasing its life.
  • Don’t ignore leaks. Leaks can cause bug infestations and mold growth in the cabinets behind the sink.

Don’ts:

  • Do not pour bleach into the sink. Bleach can harm the disposal’s seals. If the garbage disposal is emitting foul aromas, treat it with citrus peels or baking soda and vinegar.
  • Don’t stop running the garbage disposal. Instead, when all of the food has been crushed, run cold water to ensure that the garbage disposal is properly flushed.
  • Don’t use eggshells in the garbage disposal, potato peels, grease, or fibrous items. These foods can clog pipes by accumulating in them.
