Clean Your Disposal Day reminds everyone to clean and maintain their garbage disposal to eliminate grime and odors and keep the appliance running smoothly. Simple steps--running cold water, grinding ice and citrus, using baking soda and vinegar, and checking for trapped debris--help prevent clogs and extend lifespan. The food waste disposer was invented in 1927 by John W. Hammes of Racine, Wisconsin, who patented his improved design in 1933.
