Ice, lemons, and star anise makes what we call in the kitchen a “sink smoothie” we have industrial sized disposals but it works for all of them. Plus it smells fressssh
@El Raider I'm not saying it's okay to stuff a bunch of crap down your drain, but periodically putting a few things through a garbage disposal isn't an issue so long as you run enough water through to remove whatever remnants may be left. The only time I've ever had to hydro jet was on a property that was vacant for several years allowing the rust to settle in a horizontal cast iron main drain pipe.
@@InuranusBrokoff here’s your argument in a different context; “it’s ok to occasionally take heroin as long as you don’t get hooked and do it all the time”
As a former plumber, a good tenth of my jobs were repairing and replacing leaky disposers after people tried the ice trick. DO NOT throw ice in there, ever!
If a glass of ice will mess up a disposal, then it was on its last leg anyway. Clearly you either were never a plumber or you were fired for being a bad one.
Plumber here. Don't use hot water when using the disposer. It enables the water to seep below the spinning disk and degrade the rubber holding the water tight seal. You will know when that rubber is gone when water is coming through the center of your Badger garbage disposal.

Around 1959 my mother had a disposal installed. The guy that put it in said to run ice cubes thru it to clean it. That was 64 years ago. I have used this method and told lots of people about it. It is fun to do it.
If ice dosent do the trick, stick one, possibly two brillo pads in while trinkling hot water. Next, cycle disposal on/off in short burst. After doing so about ten to twenty times, plug disposal and run hot water fully. Fill sink a quarter way, pull plug then crank disposal on. It'll break the rest of steel wool down to small flakes and flush out on out. Iv done this many times, pulled p-traps to make sure no clogs or damage and soo for after doing so about 20+ jobs, no issues yet. So far the best results if ice dosent cut it.
Fun Fact: Even without the Spinny Thingy in the plug hole, the average American toilet is cleaner than the average American kitchen sink. With a Spinny Thingy, you might as well have an Open Air Septic Tank in the kitchen.
I've done the ice method and I put a bunch of baking soda over the ice and then pour white vinegar over it and then turn it on and let it go to work. Does wonders.
The Ice had nothing to do with it. Ice won’t cause your disposal to seize up, or rust out. Age will though. Improper use will also cause a disposal to prematurely stop functioning. Greases, and oils, large pieces of food waste, vegetables, and especially RICE. I’ve replaced hundreds, maybe even thousands of disposals at this point, and one thing I can confidently say is they are all made like shit. To avoid real plumbing issues down the road with your sewer system, or if you have a septic system, just get rid of the disposal entirely. Two things plumbers love, Flushable wipes, and garbage disposals, because the problems they cause most often only occur after hours, on a weekend, or right in the middle of a holiday celebration. It seems alright till you’ve got a fat-burg the size of a small elephant with some flushable wipes binding it together forcing raw sewage into every crack, and crevice that you’d prefer it not be.
Yea urs is prob old. The cheaper models are gavi coated. Top models are a stainless. Ice would be no different than water. Ice wont cause it to rust in 2 weeks.
@@capo337g not suggesting it caused the rust. My point was the ice was the straw that broke the camels back. I’m guessing I would have had more than 2 weeks left on it, if I had not done the ice cleaning.
I use baking soda and washing up liquid and vinegar. Let it sit for about 10 mins and flush through with hot water. Then I leave a few pieces of used lime/lemon in there. Smells so gooood
That works great until your wife puts 5 dozen eggshells in it, with minimal water flushing. It clogged up and I poured 1/2 gal of vinegar into it and let it set overnight. The eggshells de-calcified & after running hot water through it, it finally drained out. That was better than taking the unit out to clear the pipes. She was making 30 lbs of Cinnamon Pecans for Xmas presents, so how could I be upset?
I use 1/4 cup landry powder with 1/4 cup of boiling water. Run for 2 minutes or without running water. Then run when adding 2 quarts boiling water where mixed 1/2 cup baking soda. Then add 2 quarts ice without running water. Then 2 quarts very hot water with 1 cup white vinegar. Works all time and I do it every 1 to 2 months. The vinegar helps clear grease out of drain lines.
Learned this by accident. I poured a bunch of ice into the sink from my cooler. I turned on the water and fired up the garbage disposal to get rid of the ice quickly. Couldn’t believe all the crap that gurgled up and out.
We would add salt to the ice to get burnt coffee out of the glass pots (swirl in circle to not break glass) at the restaurant I worked at.... worked so great that's how I clean a lot of things like that and....u guessed it.... our garbage disposal
That's what I used to use 20 years ago at a DoubleTree by Hilton at SeaWorld on the grill I put a lot of ice and clean the grill that way with all their hamburgers and steaks and all the food I cooked makes it look brand 👍🤙🇩🇴
You might try a little bleach that also help clean it out and make it smell better too. Or if it happens you happen to have a pool and you had the smaller bleach tablets put a couple of small tablets in it????
FYI if you got a dirty grill ice does the same thing on it if you don't have another way to do it you can't put the ice on it it burns Brown and you take a scrub brush and scrub it clean really easy
I used to put blunt roaches in these babies about 10 to 12 years ago. (Young, first apartment) one time the motor died and the maintenance guy came to fix it. I thought nothing of it and left. I came back 2.5 hours later and found about 20 roaches lined up on the counter and bout shit myself. Wasn't long before he saw me around and was asking to link him up on a connect. I stopped smoking last year, but he still buys from my old line to this day. Crazy world. Yall take care.
I do the ice, but I always add a few egg shells to it and a 1/4 or so of salt, give it a small shot of water and kick it on, works every time. It might be over kill but sometimes you need some overkill.
I also heard ice helps sharpen the blades but like I said that's what I heard. Also, my garbage disposal doesn't have a switch, it can only turn on when you put the specially made plug in it because the plug has these magnets that turn on the garbage disposal.
Great idea. I thin/k the ice slurry is causing the grease to become more solid, allowing the moving ice slurry to knock it off the walls efficiently. Every problem has a simple solution if you think hard enough.
I got one of those brushes built for that job. Did the vinegar and baking soda method. One day it just quit. So I removed it. They take up valuable real estate in the undersink cabinet and I can easily put my garbage in the trash. But that's just me 😊
ice is actaully what we reccomend after installing or repairing a garbage disposal. it helps break in the unit or, as this video pointed out, helps clean and break up debris in the disposal.
As a property maintenance person i always test the icemaker first then use the ice to do this exact trick on make ready's. I may be above and beyond though.
When you do the ice chop throw a couple lemon slices in too then after the ice throw the rest of the lemon in. The lemon juice helps break some of that stuff down and helps the ice scrape it out better and it ends up smelling good
Should've sprayed degreaser and let it sit for at least 5 min. before pouring the dish soap in. And washing out. Then try the ice after. Should get it back all spotless
I did that with my disposal and there was this this grinding noise it used to make before i cleaned it with ice and dish soap. After i did the ice and dish soap it smells way better and doesn't make that grinding sound anymore.
I have no clue how our kitchen sink isn’t clogged yet, it’s not like a ton of solid stuff gets shoved into the sink but don’t use a strainer or disposal
Do NOT use ice as it will shock the motor gasket and potentially leak. The best method to clean a disposal is coil cleaner. Let it sit for 10 minutes (wear gloves BTW) it dissolves the caked grease without scrubbing.
Now for the final step - add more ice, fill with sault top off with white vinegar and repeat spin for the finish then rinse... and that's all I got to say about that.
As someone who spends the majority of their working day clearing out the remnants of people improperly using garbage disposals, I have to say that I approve of those message. It’s the best trick to get those suckers nice a sparkly clean, the ice also helps to keep those blades nice a sharp as well. A real pro-tip is to use a bit of white vinegar with the ice. Baking soda is a no-go because under the right conditions it just turns to concrete, and that is an expensive, time consuming, and very messy repair to make on a section of drain line.
Egg shells and coffee grounds as well as ice. Finish with half a lemon. The lemon will last for days, even while using the disposal for regular daily needs.
