Garbage disposals are a great feature in our kitchens, and it is important to treat them properly in order to help them keep working consistently. Â Here are a few garbage disposal tips and tricks:
Always, always, always run the garbage disposal with the water on.
This is important for the bearings of the mechanism.
Run the garbage disposal for about 5 seconds after all of the food has gone down it.
This ensures that any and all food particles are broken up and disposed of. Â Otherwise, they can build up and create a smelly odor.
Use citrus to help with the smell
If the garbage disposal does start to have a smell, you can fix it with a lemon or an orange. Â Simply cut it up into slices and place it down the disposal. Â It will give the disposal a nice clean citrus scent.
