To skip rancid scents, you should grind up food refuse right away with cold water and use your disposal long enough. Typically, 30 seconds will take care of it.
Avoid dumping coffee grounds, eggshells, potato peels and banana peels into your disposal, because they lead to drainage troubles and bad odors. While bleach feels like a smart idea for rinsing your garbage disposal, it solidifies grease and other food residue in your pipes, leading to clogs.
Our Saint Charles plumbing Experts suggest doing one of these green combinations weekly to keep your disposal smelling fresh:
- Hot water and baking soda
- Hot water and dish soap
- Hot water and vinegar
You can also buy garbage disposal pods or grind up citrus peels to manage odors.
If your garbage disposal smells like sewage, you may be dealing with a leak. Reach the Experts at 630-246-2698 for plumbing service in Saint Charles.
