How to Prevent Clogs
Prevention is the best medicine when it comes to your drains. You can avoid frequent kitchen sink repair by abiding by some easy rules. Here’s how you can keep your garbage disposal from clogging:
- Pour hot water down the drains as you’re using your garbage disposal and after using it as well. This will help your garbage disposal process food waste and clear slight build-up.
- Be careful what kind of food is going into your drains. While your garbage disposal is able to handle some foods, throwing fruit peels, chicken skin, and other tough items into your disposal will likely clog it.
- Avoid pouring hot grease or oil down your drains. It will cool and solidify, creating a blockage in your drains.
How to Clean Your Garbage Disposal
Dirty garbage disposal can have some gross side effects. Having standing water can cause bad smells and pests. This can cause your whole kitchen to smell bad and to clog. Here are steps you can take:
- Grind up ice cubes or small pieces of lemon peel in your garbage disposal.
- While your garbage disposal is running, pour a mixture of vinegar and baking soda or hot water and detergent down your drain.
- Run the cold water for 30 seconds to get rid of any lingering.
