"Plumbers reveal surprising no-nos for garbage disposals on TikTok"

Plumbers on TikTok have shared what should never be put in a garbage disposal, prompting surprise and disappointment from viewers. While some items mentioned, such as chicken bones, were expected, others were surprised to hear the plumbers say that nothing should go into the disposal. Disposals are generally meant for smaller foods and leftover scraps, as larger and tougher pieces can cause plumbing issues. While opinions differ on what can be disposed of, both Trinity Plumbing and Prime Plumbing agree that rice and other starches can be harmful. Experts recommend cleaning the disposal once a week, with a popular TikTok hack involving using ice to clean the blades. However, some users have cautioned that using crushed ice is best to avoid damaging the disposal.
