What’s Lurking in Your Sink?

Cleaning Your Garbage Disposal: Why It Matters More Than You Think.

Wondering what’s that smell? Your garbage disposal isn’t just gross — it’s a health risk hiding in plain sight. The dark, moist chamber is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and mold.

1. Hidden Bacteria
   Warm, wet conditions inside the disposal create ideal environments for microbes. These can spread to your dishes, utensils, and even into the air you breathe.

2. Slow Drainage & Clogs
   Residue and food debris build up over time, slowing drainage, reducing performance, and raising the risk of pipe backups.

3. Rotting Smells
   Decomposing food releases foul-smelling gases and bacteria, leaving odors that linger and spread throughout your kitchen.
