Eggshells and Garbage Disposals: The Truth Revealed
Have you heard the myth that putting eggshells down your garbage disposal will sharpen the blades? The truth is, eggshells can cause more harm than good. Instead of sharpening the blades, they can actually lead to damage and clogs in your disposal and pipes.
Eggs are well-known culprits for causing pipe clogs and blockages. The thin membrane present in eggshells has a tendency to cling to pipes and can easily break into small pieces. Over time, these fragments can become trapped along with grease and other particles that cause build-up, resulting in significant plumbing issues.
So, next time you're done with breakfast, toss those eggshells into the trash or compost bin instead. And remember—put fats, oils, and grease in the trash, NEVER down the drain!
