I’m sharing affresh® in my life as part of a sponsored series for Socialstars™. #affresh
Disposal Do’s:
- Do take care to what goes into your disposal. Remember anything put into a disposal should be a food product. It’s not for trash or big pieces of bone!
- Do try to keep your disposal as clean as you can. Make sure you run your disposal each time you do the dishes. Pour a little dish soap inside & let the disposal run for a minute or two with some cold water after rinsing or washing dishes. At least once a month use affresh® Disposal Cleaner to easily deep clean your disposal. (I’ll share more on that is just a bit!)
- Do turn on your disposal regularly. Using your disposal daily insures that all the parts & blades stay moving & helps prevent things from building up inside your disposal causing unwanted odor.
- Do use cold water when you are grinding up food. Cold water will help any grease or oils that may go down the drain accidently to solidify. This makes it much easy to chop them up & get that oil & grease safely through your pipes.
Disposal Don’ts:
- Don’t put grease or oil intentionally into your disposal. Grease likes to accumulate inside your disposal & can cause clogged drains. Plus grease stinks! No fun!
- Don’t grind extremely high fiber foods like corn husks or celery. Fibers from these types of foods can tangle & wrap around the disposal blades causing the motor to overheat & stop working.
- Don’t turn off your disposal or your water until all the grinding is completely finished. When every thing is finished, turn off the the garbage disposal first. Then let the water continue to run for at least 20 - 30 seconds. This will help flush out any remaining pieces of food.
- Don’t put big pieces or large amounts of food down the garbage disposal all at once. Put food into the garbage disposal a little at a time (with cold water running). Cut up bigger pieces. This will help move the food scraps through your disposal, down the drain & out of your pipes.
- Don’t put large amounts of pasta, rice or potato peels down your disposal. Pasta & rice tend to get bigger when wet & can lead to clogged drains. Potato peels tend to stick to the side of your disposal causing clogs as well. Save these items for your compost pile.
- Don’t use harsh chemicals like bleach in your disposal. It can damage blades and pipes. Instead, at least once a month use affresh® Disposal Cleaner.
