As a chef, when the wait staff burns coffee to the bottom of the pot/carafe, we put ice, salt, and lemon juice in the pot and swirl it in circles. The salt is your abrasive, the juice bleaches, and the ice doesn't scratch it the pot, which leads to breakage. When I do drains, I personally add baking soda. Removes funky smells.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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
Yeah just don't do it all the time, only do it in cases like in this video really helps clean those blades down to the metal. Some high end manufacturers would actually tell you this as well.
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 👍🤙🇩🇴
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.
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 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.
I’m glad that we don’t have that where I live tbh , I always found these things horrifying since the whole “I let my hand get shredded” scenes in horror movies.
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.
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?
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.
Guys, this is for light food scraps so you can rinse and scrape it into the sink using water right before placing the dish into a dishwasher. It's not a garbage can
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.

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
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.
When I worked at McDonald’s someone would somehow always leave the coffee pot on the burner with just a tiny bit of coffee left in it and it would end up burning and getting stuck to the glass. Idk where I got the idea from but I dropped a couple ice cubes in the pot and sprinkled some salt in it as well and shook it side to side for a few seconds and it not only cleaned the burnt coffee marks but it made it look brand new.
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.
Once or twice a month I spray WD-40 and let it sit overnight, next morning put baking soda, and ice cubes in the disposal, fill up the sink with hot water, pull the plug, turn on the disposal and let gravity take over..it'll clean the machine and flush out the line.
Thank you!!! I'm going to have to do this soon. Well provided I remember both to do it & how to do it. There's a 50/50 chance of that since I'm staying with a friend for the holidays
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.
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
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.
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

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.
Once or twice a month I spray WD-40 and let it sit overnight, next morning put baking soda, and ice cubes in the disposal, fill up the sink with hot water, pull the plug, turn on the disposal and let gravity take over..it'll clean the machine and flush out the line.
Ice works great, if you ever break a glass you can throw it in the disposal too (was told this buy a disposal company salesman.)
Thank you!!! I'm going to have to do this soon.
Well provided I remember both to do it & how to do it.
There's a 50/50 chance of that since I'm staying with a friend for the holidays
My dad taught me the ice method. It works so well!
Makes me think of how high end car detailers shoot dry ice pellets to clean grimy and greasy surfaces. Great video!
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.
This video took me back to Spider-Man on the ps2
To add to this idea: You could also freeze cubes of white vinegar and lemon juice and throw them in, instead of plain icecubes.
I put baking soda and vinegar on top of my ice bc I like the foam:) also I think it helps clean it but if not the aesthetic is enough
Plumbers around the world are rejoicing as ice will destroy your garbage disposal.
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
Lemon peels or orange peels plus ice helps with cleaning it and smell too!
Learned that on accident the other day. Bar wench dumped a bucket of ice in the sink. I flipped the switch and presto! Cleaner than new.
Yo! I never KNEW THAT!!! I’ve had to fight so hard with those stupid things! Thanks!
Ice & 1/4 cup of comet cleanser does a nice job too adding in a 1/4 cup of coarse or rock salt will also clean nicely
Thanks! It worked for me!!
You're welcome!
@@DaveDocDIYwhat is that thing?
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.
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
