#DidYouKnow the average American generates 4.4 pounds of trash every single day, according to the EPA. One way to reduce this waste is to use a garbage disposal to get ride of unwanted leftovers. If the garbage disposal is not maintained or used properly, it can clog and stop working. Follow these tips to keep your garbage disposal in great condition while reducing plumbing issues: 1. Run your garbage disposal regularly while running cold water down the drain. Keep the dispos...al and water on for 30 seconds after it has finished grinding to clear the system. 2. Cut large food waste into smaller pieces and feed through disposal to avoid clogs and damage to the disposal. 3. Never put grease, fat, oil, bones, or coffee grounds down your disposal. These will not break up properly and could damage your plumbing system. 4. Never put your hands into the disposal even if the disposal is turned off. A sudden release in tension if you touch a blade could make the blades start to rotate and cause injury. 5. Avoid using a garbage disposal in homes with a septic tank, unless you have a larger tank that is designed to handle finely ground waste.

#DidYouKnow every year 48 million Americans get sick from foodborne illnesses, according to the CDC. One factor that contributes to this is poor food refrigeration, which causes food to spoil sooner than expected. A few easy steps to clean and maintain your refrigerator can keep you and your family safe, while extending the life of your refrigerator. 1. Check to make sure the interior refrigerator lights turn off when the door is closed. You can test this by closing the door... most of the way and peering through the gap. 2. Wipe down the door seal once a month to remove crumbs or other debris that could hinder or damage the seal. 3. Clean refrigerator coils with a vacuum brush attachment at least twice a year. 4. Check the drain pan for cracks that could result in water leaks, and replace any damaged drip pans immediately. 5. Set your refrigerator temperature to 40 F or below, and your freezer to 0 F. You can also consider using an appliance thermometer to check that the temperature is set and working correctly.
