A garbage disposal in your kitchen is a great appliance that will make your household duties less demanding. However, if not properly maintained, the garbage disposal is likely to break down, clog and block your drains causing extensive and expensive drain and plumbing nightmares. Below is a list of garbage removal in Providence RI mistakes that homeowners make.
The Do’s
* Always keep the garbage disposal clean by pouring a little dish soap inside and letting run for a minute after you have washed the dishes
* Run the garbage disposal regularly to prevent corrosion and rust and ensure that moving parts are free from obstructions
* Clean food waste under a steady flow of cold water
* Peelings of citrus fruits such as oranges or lemons should be ground to clear the drain smells
* Reduce the size of large items before putting them into a garbage disposal
* Hire an experienced firm for garbage removal in Providence RI
The Don’ts
* Do not place anything in your garbage disposal unit that is not biodegradable
* Do not grind paper, metal, plastic or glass
* Do not grind cigarette buts
* Do not use hot water while grinding your food waste since it will cause the grease to liquefy leading to accumulation and the drains will eventually clog
* Do not turn off water or motor until the grinding process is complete
* Do not place too many potato peels in the disposal unit. Starch in potatoes turns into a thick paste that will cause the blades to stick
* Do not grind huge animal bones like pork, beef and others
* Using harsh chemicals such as drain cleaners or bleach will cause damage to the pipes and blades
* Do not grind combustible items
* Do not pour fat, oil or grease in the garbage disposal
* Do not grind fibrous material like artichokes, onion skins, celery stalks and cornhusks
* Do not place expandable foods in the garbage disposal. Rice and pasta expand when water is added to them, and they are likely to become garbage removal in Providence RI nightmares
* It is best to avoid using coffee grounds in the garbage disposal since they will eventually accumulate in the pipes and drains
