Dallas Texas Disposal Tips
One of the things I get asked all the time as a Dallas plumber is about the garbage disposal. If you put too much down the disposal then you have got a bad plumbing problem real fast! Here are some suggestions to maintain your garbage disposal and keep it functioning.Once a month take your ice tray from the freezer and dump it all down the disposal while running hot water. This sharpens the disposer blades, helps keep the kitchen drain clean, and recycles the old ice in your icemaker. For bad smells from the disposer use lemon juice; but do not put the actual lemon itself in your disposal. Many plumbing companies in Dallas offer this advice to their customers.Your sinks can be kept running well by using regular household bleach. However, you should not use bleach in the disposal as it can cause damage. Shower drains, tub drains, and sink drains can be easily maintained by using bleach. You can also pour bleach down the a/c drain in the attic to help with drainage too. Be careful! Bleach is dangerous! Any Dallas TX plumbers should inform you about the dangers of using bleach or other common household chemicals.
