Pro Tip: Use Ice in Your Garbage Disposal Once a Month

To keep your garbage disposal clean and running efficiently, drop a handful of ice cubes into it once a month. The ice helps to sharpen the blades and remove any built-up debris, grease, or food particles that might be causing unpleasant odors. It’s an easy, low-cost maintenance trick to extend the life of your disposal! When you need to switch your disposal remember to call Pat's Plumbing.
