Want a simple tip to avoid a clogged drain?
Every day we cook three times a day. And if you’re cooking anything on the stovetop, chances are you’ve had cooking oil you drain off before you continue cookin
g your meal. What do you do with the excess cooking oil?
If you’re putting it down the drain, you could be doing more than clogging your drain. Grease actually begins to solidify fairly quickly, and will build up in a variety of ways. As you pour it down the drain, it combines with other particles in the wastewater, and begins sticking to the pipe walls that move through your home. Over time, this same buildup can attach itself to more that the pipes in your home – it can also move outside of your home and block the lines in and out of your home, resulting in a wastewater spill and potential hazard to you and the community around you.
Instead of creating a potentially expensive and chaotic situation, avoid the situation all together by keeping grease out of your drain. When cooking with grease, pour leftover oil into a jar or container and place into the trash. Wipe away any residue with a paper towel to avoid rinsing any down the drain.
