How to Protect Your Garbage Disposal

Taking a few small steps can prevent the stress of a complete breakdown or an urgent leak in your kitchen.

These simple tips can help you avoid future disasters and keep your system running smoothly for years:

  • Use Cold Water: Always run cold water while the disposal is grinding to help move food particles completely through the pipes.
  • Avoid “Fringe” Items: Keep non-food items, like an action figure, out of the drain to prevent sudden mechanical failure.
  • Small Batches: Feed food scraps into the disposal gradually rather than all at once to avoid overwhelming the motor.
  • Clean Regularly: Occasionally, grinding small ice cubes can help scour the internal components and keep things fresh.
  • Professional Check-Ups: Having an expert perform a quick inspection can catch out-of-the-box hiccups before they become expensive repairs.
