Garburator Edmonton

You love your garburator because of the ease it provides when disposing of food debris. But your garburator will need the occasional cleaning to prevent food particles from getting trapped in there and rotting, which creates nasty food waste smells that require the need for an Edmonton garburator repair professional to visit your home. Fortunately, cleaning your unit is generally pretty easy, and you don't have to take it apart or do any manual scrubbing. Here are a few tips to try:

• Put a big handful of ice cubes into the disposal and add a few tablespoons of salt to give it some grittiness, then turn it on and let it chew up the ice. This not only helps to clean it out, but it can also sharpen the blades. Once the ice is gone, chase it down with a blast of cold water.
• Cut a citrus peel into strips and feed the strips into the unit one by one with the cold water running.
• Put half a cup of baking soda into the disposal and then pour in half a cup of vinegar and cover with a wet rag. Give it five minutes or so to fizz away, then rinse with cold water.

If you try these tips and your garburator still has a foul odour, you may have a stubborn clog or another issue that will require a service for garburator repair in Edmonton.

Clogs or blockages are the bane of any plumbing system, and can cause a lot of damage that will require costly Edmonton garburator repairs or replacement services. The number one way you can prevent blockages in your waste disposal system is by not throwing any of these things down your garburator. Edmontonians should refrain from washing these items down the sink:

• Fat, oil, and grease
• Coffee grounds or tea leaves
• Eggshells
• Paper towels
• Poultry skin
• Oatmeal
• Stringy vegetables like celery or asparagus
• Onions skills, potato peels, or corn husks
• Pasta or rice
• Harder nuts, seeds, fruit pits, bones
• Hot water that can solidify grease
• Chemical drain cleaners
• Pet food

These are just some of the items that can clog up your garburator, resulting in expensive garburator repairs in Edmonton. You can also help protect your system with proper cleaning, regular maintenance, and, of course, timely repairs.
