Garbage Disposal Do's and Don'ts

Though it is called a garbage disposal, there are some things, however much you know that they are garbage, which you should keep out of it. If it breaks down, and you have to call in the home insurance man, if you have put any of the following down there then he will probably refuse to pay out on the basis that it was your fault.Rice & Noodles - This one is a surprise to most people, but its a starch will give your garbage disposal indigestion. Bones - What do you think is going to happen to that bone once its in the garbage disposal? Eggshells - Bad, they only clog your disposal system. Grease - It will stick to, and build up on the disposal tube. Stringy Vegetables - These do not do well in the garbage disposal because they become balls that clog the entire system up. Coffee Grounds - A basket full of grounds from your coffee maker? You are looking for trouble. Fruit Seeds - Do not put fruit pits in there as they will not go anywhere.Shrimp Shells - Bad, plus the
y stink.Paper - The inside machinery gets clogged up as soon as the paper gets wet. Plastic - This is simply too tough to process. Poop - Dog poop seems pretty obvious not to put down the disposal. You would think that baby diapers would fall in the same category, but they clog thousands of disposals a year. So, what can you put in there? Anything that is easily chopped up and blended is fine. Apply some common sense and you should be ok. The golden rule though is "If in doubt, keep it out". Doing all of the above will ensure that your garbage disposal stays in good working order for as long as possible. Repairs are expensive so, to avoid an awkward conversation with an impossible home insurance man, make sure that you take care of your garbage disposal.--- Unhappy with how much you're paying for home insurance?
