- Cold Water: Always use cold water when operating the disposal to solidify any grease or oils.
- Avoid Hard Materials: Refrain from disposing of bones, fruit pits, nut shells, or non-food items.
- Clean Naturally: Use a mixture of ice cubes, baking soda, and/or peeled citrus wedges (minus the seeds) to clean and freshen the unit.
- Check Beneath: Take the time to look at your disposal beneath the sink. Inspect signs of leaks, especially along the bottom edge.
