As the holiday season nears, it is important to remember how best to look after your waste disposal unit. Waste disposal units are perfect for disposing of food waste and ensuring that the odours emanating from your kitchen during the Christmas period are confined to the delicious smells of cooking rather than the rubbish rotting in your bin. Waste disposal units are also ideal for the environment, as they cut down the pressure put on landfill sites. Ensure that you do not clog up your waste disposal unit with bones, grease and other items in common use over the holiday. Avoid putting fibrous foods, coffee grounds, egg shells, bones, glass or metal down your waste disposal unit. When grinding food in your garbage disposal, make sure you keep the cold water tap running to help force the food waste through the cutting blades. Looking after your waste disposal unit at Christmas will ensure that food preparation periods in the kitchen are as easy and stress-free as possible.
