Why clean your garbage disposal?
- Did you know you need to clean your garbage disposal every two weeks?
- It can get very smelly and dirty if you use your sink often.
How to Clean Garbage Disposal: Step-By-Step Directions
Cleaning your garbage disposal is very easy with Active Disposal Cleaning Tablets.
Step 1
- Run water at full strength through your disposal for 1 minute. Clear out any food or stuff stuck in there.
Step 2
- Open Active Disposal Cleaning Tablet package and remove tablet.
- Turn down water until it is running the width of a pencil (see video above for demonstration of this).
- Position water away from garbage disposal, still running, but not directly into drain (this would not let the tablet do it’s work but you still need some water to help it work). If you have a 2-basin sink, position the water running in the non-disposal drain side (see video).
Step 3
- Place tablet into disposal. Tip: For extra strength cleaning, use 2 tablets.
- Run disposal for 1 minute.
- Foam may come out, that’s good! It’s also ok if there is no foam (like mine).
Step 4
- Run water again to rinse disposal. I do this for about another minute at full power.
- Turn off disposal.
Step 5
- Enjoy your clean disposal!
- Repeat with another tablet if necessary.
Step 6 (optional)
