Avoid Putting These Items Down Your Drain!

1. Oil to fry in: This is a big culprit when it comes to clogged pipes. If oil mixes with other waste a kind of goo develops. This also goes for mayonnaise, butter, margarine and salad dressings!
2. Egg shells: The shells damage the drain and once you’ve flushed them down, they can get stuck in other blockages further down the pipes.
3. Old coffee grounds: These aren’t soluble in water, so it can get real messy if you put them down the drain, especially if the grounds attach themselves to oil. It’s best to compost coffee grounds or throw them in the bin.
4. Rice: A single grain of rice easily escapes through the drain, but once it’s down there it’ll expand when it comes into contact with water.
