7. Cleaning Garbage Disposals
If improperly maintained, garbage disposals can rapidly start to produce offensive smells in the kitchen. Unnexpected yet useful for cleaning and deodorising your garbage disposal are dishwasher tablets. Make sure your disposal is empty before applying this approach and cut off the electricity for safety. Let a dishwasher tablet sit in the disposal for a few minutes. Then turn on the disposal and restore power running cold water. As it is ground up, the tablet will produce foaming action that helps to clean the disposal’s inner surfaces and blades. Any food residue will be broken down by the cleansing chemicals in the pill, therefore eradicating smells. Run water for another minute once the tablet has completely crushed down to guarantee all waste is flushed away. This approach not only cleans your garbage disposal but also extends its lifetime and helps to keep its efficiency.
