Not long ago I found water leaking from the bottom of our garbage disposal. While investigating, I realized we’d been neglecting several simple maintenance steps that likely shortened its life.
We ended up replacing the disposal ourselves, which kept costs down, but it’s not an expense I want to repeat soon. To protect the new unit, I’ll be following these guidelines for everyday use and maintenance to get the most from it.

1. Run cold water before, during and after use.
Run a steady stream of cold water before you switch on the disposal, keep the water running while it grinds, and let it run a few seconds after. Cold water helps solidify fats so they can be chopped and flushed away, and it assists in moving waste through the drain and plumbing system.
2. Use biodegradable detergent.
Choose biodegradable dish detergents when washing greasy or food-covered dishes. They are less likely to cause corrosion or buildup inside the disposal and help protect related plumbing parts.
3. Avoid using harsh chemicals
Avoid pouring bleach, caustic drain cleaners, or other harsh chemicals into the disposal. These products can corrode internal parts and damage pipes. Use mechanical cleaning methods and mild, biodegradable cleaners instead.

4. Gradually feed waste.
Do not overload the disposal. Feed small amounts of food waste at a time and allow each batch to grind fully before adding more. This reduces strain on the motor and lowers the chance of jams or clogs.
5. Only grind small, soft food waste.
Keep out large, hard, or fibrous items like bones, fruit pits, corn husks, thick potato peelings, and onion skins. These can dull or damage the shredding elements and create blockages. Also avoid coffee grounds and eggshells, which can accumulate and cause clogs; compost them instead.
6. Keep it free from grease and oil.
Never pour grease, cooking oil, or fats down the disposal. They may flow as liquids but will solidify as they cool, creating sticky buildup that clogs pipes and reduces performance.
7. Regularly clean the disposal.
Clean the unit at least monthly. Grind a few ice cubes with a small amount of rock salt to scrape away residue, then run citrus peels to freshen odors. This helps remove buildup and keeps the unit smelling clean.

8. Properly reset and maintain it.
If the disposal jams, follow these safe steps:
- Turn off power and unplug or switch off the circuit.
- Use the wrench supplied with the unit (or a hex key) to manually rotate the blades from beneath and free the obstruction.
- Press the reset button on the unit, then restore power and test it with cold water running.
9. Inspect for wear and tear.
Check the disposal periodically for leaks, unusual noises, or reduced grinding power. Catching problems early can prevent more serious damage and expensive repairs.
10. Know when to replace your garbage disposal.
Most disposals last around 10 to 15 years depending on use and care. If yours shows persistent leaks, frequent jams, or failing performance, replacement is often more cost-effective than continued repairs.
