The garbage disposal is a kitchen appliance that is all too easy to overlook when it comes to routine cleaning. Unlike your oven or dishwasher it’s not an appliance that you necessarily use or even notice on a daily basis so in many homes the garbage disposal goes unnoticed until there’s a problem with it.
