Keeping an eye on these fixtures can help prevent issues such as leaks and help the longevity of not just the home’s water system but the plumbing fixture itself. Taking small measures like cleaning these fixtures and properly using them can help!

Here are some tips on how to maintain and clean your Kitchen Sink and Garbage Disposal :

  • Scrub your sink! It’s good to scrub your sink clean once every 30 days. This helps rid your sink of food stains, rust, water spots, etc.
  • Have a stain in your sink? Destain surfaces with lemon juice.
  • Use WD-40 on rust
  • Sanitize Frequently and keep it simple! Warm water and a small amount of bleach can do the trick!
  • Kitchen Sink Smell? Put Lemon peels down your Garbage disposal! Not only with this help clean your disposal but also will leave your kitchen smelling fresh!
