Garbage disposals were one of the best inventions to come out of kitchen innovation that we can think of, but they’re also high maintenance and can be dirty and difficult if they become clogged or broken. If your garbage disposal is constantly clogged or gets dirty or smelly easily, it might be time to get it checked out from a trained professional at All American Plumbing San Diego. Our team of trained professionals have experience in helping to unclog garbage disposals and get them working at optimal ability. We can also install new garbage disposals, and advise you on the best garbage disposal for your home if you’re looking to get a new one.
The one drawback to a garbage disposal is that you have to clean it properly in order for it to maintain its best function. Professionals at All American Plumbing San Diego are trained to inform their clients on the best practices in keeping their garbage disposals clean. We want to make sure your plumbing and appliances are running the best, so our priority is to give you the tools you need to keep your plumbing appliances running, not to keep you coming back to us for more help.
To keep your garbage disposal clean and free of odors, we recommend trying first to run a cup of ice through your garbage disposal to displace any food or debris that might be stuck. You can also run slices of lemon or other citrus through the machine to clear it of any debris and leave it smelling fresh and clean without using hard chemicals. Occasionally, you should also run a mixture of ammonia and warm water through the machine to free it of clogs and clean and disinfect it. If the smell persists, we recommend giving us a call to check on if your garbage disposal is clear of clogs and debris.
