Disposal Tips
One of the things I get asked all the time as a Dallas plumber is about the garbage disposal. If you put too much down the disposal then you can experience a significant plumbing problem quickly. Here are some suggestions to maintain your garbage disposal and keep it functioning.Every few weeks, you can take the ice cubes in your freezer and put them down the disposal while running hot water. This sharpens the disposer blades, helps keep the kitchen drain clean, and recycles the old ice in your icemaker. For bad smells from the disposer use lemon juice; but do not put the actual lemon itself in your disposal. Many plumbing contractors in Dallas offer this advice to their customers.You can maintain your drains by using regular household bleach. Do not use bleach in the disposal, this can lead to the disposal going bad. Shower drains, tub drains, and sink drains can be easily maintained by using bleach. You can also pour bleach down the a/c drain in the attic to help with drainage too. Be careful! Bleach is dangerous! Any Dallas Texas plumber should inform you about the dangers of using bleach or other common household chemicals
