Why Replace Your Splash Guard?
Over time, disposal splash guards crack, harden, or develop persistent odors. Swapping in a fresh rubber guard restores a proper seal, reduces splashing, and cuts down on bacteria buildup around your sink. It's a simple, affordable kitchen maintenance step that makes a noticeable difference every day.
