No one likes to deal with spilled milk. So, make sure the milk is capped and in a secure place. These are preventative measures that proactive individuals take. When it comes to your drains, we recommend you cap those drains with drain stoppers and drain filters. Consider a garbage disposal for your home kitchen and a grease trap for busy kitchens like a restaurant’s.
Your drains safely and effortlessly dispose of sewage and wastewater produced in your building. They are not superheroes though.
You should not flush anything and everything. Only flush toilet paper, pee, and poo, for example. Similarly, don’t over rely on your garbage disposal.
Toss food scraps in a compost bin, and keep used fats, oils, and greases in a separate container to throw in the trash later.
As for your bathroom drains, keep hair strands out by brushing your hair before getting in the shower. And opt for liquid soap over bar soap, as the fats in bar soap can clog the drains.
If you want to enjoy seamless drainage, the make sure the drains are clear of junk and muck. Get in the habit of rinsing drains with some hot water after using. This should liquify any fats and greases which may have hardened in the drain line.
Every two or three months, bring out the baking soda and pour half a cup in the drains. Follow that up with a cup of white vinegar and hear it fizz. This chemical reaction should break apart a lot of the gunk in the drains. Do this for the sinks and shower drains.
