Cleaning your garbage disposal can be a bit scary and new because of the fact that you would not want to put your hands in there. This is because of the blades which could potentially cause damage to your hands. Let’s take a look at some of the steps you will want to take in order to properly clean your garbage disposal today.
Cleaning the Disposal
The first thing you will want to do is clean the disposal. You can begin by using something of a toothbrush or what not and getting any larger chunks out. From here, you will want to then utilize other materials as well such as ice cubes and rock salt to get stuck on grease out of there. Similarly, you will want to utilize things such as baking soda and vinegar, which are known for their cleaning abilities.
Eliminating Odors
One way that you can eliminate odors is by keeping the disposal clean. Similarly, things such as citrus peels and scented oils can work wonders as well.
Maintenance
For maintenance purposes, continuing to clean out the disposal, as well as running water when you turn it on are two things that you will want to do. Doing a baking soda and water mixture every few months is also great to make sure your garbage disposal is clean for a long period of time.
