The Best Garbage Disposal Tips<\/h2>\n

You probably don\u2019t think about your garbage disposal in terms of right and wrong, but there are some best practices. Here are a few simple tips to keep in mind this season.<\/p>\n

Run Your Garbage Disposal Often<\/h3>\n

When was the last time you used your garbage disposal? It might be time for you to run it. Running a little cold water and turning on the garbage disposal will give you the chance to clear out any food from the drainage system and keep the moving parts of the disposal from rusting.<\/p>\n

Keep Commercial Drain Cleaner Out of the Drain<\/h3>\n

We know how tempting it is to just run out to the store and buy a bottle of drain cleaner when things start to go south with your system. These chemical drain cleaners are cheap and seemingly effective. But trust us when we say that it\u2019s not a wise decision. The chemicals in these drain cleaners are caustic and they can really damage your drain over time. Even if it cleans the drain for a while, it\u2019s likely that it won\u2019t clear all of the clog and the problem will redevelop soon.<\/p>\n

Avoid FOG at All Costs<\/h3>\n

\u201cFOG\u201d stands for fat, oil, and grease. Fat, oil, and grease are such a problem for your garbage disposal because they enter your drain as a liquid but then quickly settle and become a sludge-like solid. Make sure that any of these substances go into your home\u2019s trashcan rather than down the drain. You\u2019ll be grateful that you avoided this problem in the long run.<\/p>\n
