The domestic waste disposal is one of the most useful equipment for chefs in the kitchen. Most of us are familiar with the basic rules of garbage disposal, such as keeping garbage clean and always using cold water when using it. If maintenance and operation are not performed properly, your trash will easily decompose, or clogging the pipe under the sink. Each of these possibilities is accompanied by expensive repairs. The good news is that they are unnecessary. The following items must not be placed in the home waste disposal.
If one or two small bones (such as chicken bones) occasionally fall on your electronic garbage disposal site, this will not happen in major situations, but in general, putting bones on a household rubbish disposal is something you should avoid. In most cases, they will only continue to rotate with the impeller, and after falling into the pipe, they will easily get stuck somewhere.
The list of fiber vegetables includes artichokes, celery, lettuce, asparagus, carrots, corn husks and potato skins. Due to their fibrous nature, these items can become entangled in kitchen sink crusher blades and hinder their function. If the fiber food must be absolutely put into the sink waste disposal site, it must be processed in small batches.
Rice and pasta are classified as ‘expandable foods’. When water is added to the pot, these foods will expand, and the same will happen once the food gets stuck in the kitchen waste disposer site or pipe. When rice, oatmeal or pasta swells, it increases the possibility of other food residues attaching to it, and this is the beginning of clogging. In fact, many professional plumbers claim that pasta and rice are the main causes of blockages.
Nuts and other hard foods can dull the blades of the household waste disposal.
Coffee grounds are a deception. They are excellent deodorants that eliminate many unpleasant odors, so homeowners mistakenly believe that they can pour coffee grounds on the sink food waste disposer to eliminate odors. Although they may seem to be easily digested by the garbage disposer, in fact, they will accumulate in your pipes and form dirt like sediment in the pipes.
The practice of throwing eggshells into the kitchen garbage disposal has caused some controversy. Proponents believe that eggshells can be safely disposed of through garbage disposal and actually help sharpen the blades. Critics believe that the membrane lining the shell will stick to the impeller and blades, causing considerable damage. Security is better than regret, so this is one item you should avoid.
According to common sense, these non-food items should not be placed in the garbage disposer, but in any case, you will be surprised by the number of homeowners who have tried it. Your garbage disposal may chop up cigarette butts, but also chop up harmful chemicals and release these chemicals into your home environment. Similarly, do not throw broken glass on the garbage disposal site. Despite the presence of the splash guard, it will still fly out of the disposal site and may cause accidental injury.
