Kitchen sink clogs can often be avoided by properly disposing of
food scraps.In rental properties they ussually install less then
the best because they know that tenant's ussually are very hard
on them. By taking steps every day to make sure they are clean
and running right can save time and money later.

The top eight foods that will back up your drain are:

1. Egg shells

2. Rice

3. Pasta

4. Grease

5. Potato peels

6. Banana skins

7. Celery

8. Coffee grounds

If you garbage disposal blades should become dull, try putting
in some ice cube and grinding them up.

For that funky smell that comes from your disposal try this:

1. Grind up a few ice cubes in the disposal.

2. Follow with cold water.

3. Finally drop a sliced lemon or orange in and grind it up.

But most important to the overall functioning of your disposal
is to keep foreign object out of it. Rocks, pencils, wire,
plastic and bones should be disposed of in the trash and not in
the disposal.
