In a perfect world, you should be cleaning your garbage disposal once a week (viaHome Warranty).
Allow the water to sit for roughly 10 minutes to get to properly soak the mechanism.
This will help dissolve any food or other particles that might have built up in the blade.
Then launch the disposal, and let the water drain through.
Doing this weekly will help prevent anything caught in the disposal from rotting.
Bonus, the lemon will sanitize the disposal and will leave a fresher scent.
Speaking of vinegar, remember those science fair volcanoes from back in the day?
Well, making one in your sink will help unblock your drain and garbage disposal as well.
Just confirm that younever combine some types of cleaning products, like vinegar and hydrogen peroxide.
