Don't let a Clogged Disposal Ruin your Holidays

Did you know that one of the most common home repair mishaps during the holiday, is a clogged garbage disposal.  Rather than going through the trouble of having it fixed, we have put together a few tips that will keep your disposal from malfunctioning during your holiday festivities!

If you do have a garbage disposal in your home, chances are it has been clogged a few times.  It is also quite common to have to replace the disposal all together.  Sometimes we find ourselves in a scramble to clean up and we end up dumping every morsel of food from the plate into the disposal, especially during the holidays when you are entertaining multiple guests at once.  Sometime the disposal is up to the task, but other times its NOT.  The easiest way to keep your disposal running is by knowing what not to put in it.  Avoid egg shells, potato peels, coffee grounds, rice, pasta, asparagus, celery, carrot peels and anything that is hard, fibrous or gummy.  Also know your limits, overflowing a disposal is an easy way to break it.  If you notice that your disposal is taking a bit longer than usual, it may  be time to sharpen the blades.  Of course, following all of these recommendations does not guarantee a clog-free disposal but it will definitely help your chances.  For more info on how to keep your disposal running efficiently visit: http://goo.gl/NjvGVp.
