Garbage Disposal Help in Salt Lake City: Essential Do’s and Don’ts

Do’s

• Do use cold water when running your disposal to solidify any grease or fat, making it easier for the blades to chop.
• Do cut large items into smaller pieces before putting them down the disposal to prevent clogging or jamming.
• Do run the disposal regularly to avoid rust, corrosion, and buildup—keeping it in working order.
• Do sharpen the blades by running ice cubes through the disposal periodically to keep it efficient and clear of debris.
• Do freshen up with citrus peels (such as lemon or orange) for a natural, pleasant scent and added cleanliness.
• Do clean with natural ingredients like baking soda and vinegar to reduce buildup and keep odors at bay.
• Do keep the disposal running for a few seconds after grinding stops to flush all debris from the drain.

Don’ts

• Don’t pour fats, oils, or grease down the disposal, as they can solidify in pipes and lead to clogs.
• Don’t put fibrous foods like celery, corn husks, or artichoke leaves in the disposal; these can tangle around the blades and cause jams.
• Don’t grind bones, fruit pits, or shells (e.g., eggshells or shellfish); they can damage the blades and create blockages.
• Don’t use harsh chemicals or drain cleaners; these can damage your disposal and plumbing.
• Don’t dispose of starchy foods (such as pasta, rice, or potatoes), as they expand with water, clogging pipes and causing backups.
• Sticking to these do’s and don’ts for garbage disposals can help extend the lifespan of your unit and keep your Salt Lake City kitchen smelling fresh and operating smoothly.
