Michael Petruccelli asks; What can I do to help keep my Garbage Disposal in good working order?

Michael Petruccelli says; 1-Remember to always run the water while you are using the disposal. 2-To avoid stoppages, continue to run the water for at least two minutes after you turn the disposal off. 3.Using the disposal with a tray of ice cubes, pieces of lemon or lime, and baking soda will help keep your disposal clean and smelling fresh. 4-If you drop a piece of silverware in your disposal, turn the power off immediately before you attempt to remove it. 5-If the disposal should become jammed, use a disposal wrench which should attach at the bottom of the disposal. Turn the wrench counter clockwise until it turns easily. Press the red reset button on your disposal and the disposal should operate properly
