Your garbage disposal works hard for you... so show it a little love back.
We put together this quick guide because honestly, most disposal problems are totally preventable. No bones, no grease, no fibrous veggies that wrap around the blades like they're trying out for Cirque du Soleil.
The good news? Keeping it clean is stupid easy. Baking soda and vinegar. Ice cubes and lemon peels. Stuff you already have. Takes like five minutes.
A working disposal means less gross stuff sitting in your trash, fewer weird smells, and one less thing to worry about in your maintenance requests. Win, win, win.
Swipe through for the full breakdown on what to avoid, how to clean it naturally, and how to fix common issues before they become actual problems. Your future self (and your kitchen) will thank you.
