Why Clean Your Garbage Disposal?

Eliminate Odors: Over time, food particles and residue can accumulate in your disposal, leading to unpleasant odors that can waft through your kitchen. Cleaning your garbage disposal helps banish these smells, leaving your kitchen smelling fresh.

Prevent Clogs: Food debris can also build up and block the disposal’s blades and pipes, causing clogs. Regular cleaning reduces the risk of these inconvenient blockages.

Maintain Efficiency: A clean garbage disposal operates more efficiently. It grinds food waste faster and requires less water to flush away debris.

Hygiene: Bacteria can thrive in damp, dark places like garbage disposals. Cleaning ensures a more hygienic environment in your kitchen.

How to Clean Your Garbage Disposal with EarthSential All Purpose Cleaner:

Gather Your Supplies: You’ll need EarthSential All Purpose Cleaner, ice cubes, citrus peels, a scrub brush or an old toothbrush, and a small dish.

Create a Cleaning Solution: Dilute EarthSential All Purpose Cleaner as per the instructions on the label. It’s essential to use a safe, eco-friendly cleaner like EarthSential to avoid introducing harmful chemicals into your disposal.

Turn Off the Power: For safety, disconnect the power to your garbage disposal. This can usually be done at the circuit breaker or by unplugging it if it’s a plug-in unit.

Clean the Rubber Flaps: Lift the rubber flaps inside the disposal and clean them with your diluted EarthSential solution. Use the scrub brush or toothbrush to remove any gunk or residue.

Flush with Ice and Citrus: Drop a handful of ice cubes and some citrus peels into the disposal. Turn the power back on and run cold water as you activate the disposal. The ice helps to dislodge any stuck-on debris, while the citrus peels leave a fresh scent.

Scrub the Baffles: Using the scrub brush or toothbrush, reach as far into the disposal as possible to clean the baffles and any hard-to-reach areas.

Rinse and Reconnect: Finally, run cold water for a minute to thoroughly rinse away any remaining cleaner. Reconnect the power, and your garbage disposal is clean and refreshed.
