My new favorite deep link topic title. Like ice fishing but totally different.
- tinix 3y agoI've been using ice to clean out garbage disposals for years! it works well...
- urig 3y agoWait. Please elaborate on how you do that
- pixl97 3y agoI would assume they just dump a few handfuls of ice in the disposal and turn it on with water running over it. When the beaters break the ice it will form sharp edges for a short period of time that remove any material buildup inside the disposal.
- dredmorbius 3y agoIt's less the sharpness than the solidity. An integral mass hitting clog or debris will scour those off regardless of how sharp the edges are. It's a bit like the principle noted in the meterological sector regarding hurricanes wind speeds: it's not that the wind blows, it's what the wind blows. Ice is good for cleaning garbage disposals. Citrus peels (lemon especially) is good at improving their odour.
