How to Garbage Disposal Maintenance
Your garbage disposal can become a source of persistent kitchen odors as food particles accumulate on the grinding components and inside the splash guard. This quick maintenance routine involves grinding ice cubes and rock salt to knock off buildup, using citrus peels for freshness, and flushing with baking soda and vinegar to eliminate odors and bacteria. Monthly maintenance keeps your disposal smelling fresh, grinding efficiently, and prevents the organic buildup that can eventually clog your drain lines.
