Start with an empty sink and disposal. Do not turn on the disposal yet.

  • Run hot tap water at full force for 1 to 2 minutes, off to the side of the sink, not directly into the disposal.
  • Reduce the tap water to a pencil-width stream, still off to the side of the drain.
  • With the disposal off and water still running, insert one unopened pod completely into the disposal, then turn the disposal on.
  • White cleaning foam will rise into the sink, this is normal. If you have a double sink, foam may appear on both sides.
  • Run the disposal until the foam retreats back into it, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Turn off the disposal and tap water. Wait approximately 5 minutes for the foam to fully retreat.
  • Rinse any remaining foam from the sink.

For best results, use once a week or as needed.
