Life hack: how to prevent blockages in pipes and prevent dirt and grease from leaking into the sewer

Plumbing problems are known to anyone who has had to deal with a clog. The procedure for cleaning pipes, which is associated with an unpleasant odor and dirt from the work of a plumber, is now expensive. Therefore, we should conclude: it is easier to prevent a blockage than to clean it. Today we’ll look at 2 options on how to protect drain holes from dirt and grease.

Option 1: regular foil

After frying, rancid oil remains in the pan, which many people pour into the toilet or sink. This is absolutely not allowed, especially if you live in an old house where the sewage system leaves much to be desired.

What to do? Before you “free yourself” from the oil, tear off a piece of foil and insert it into the drain hole. Pour oil onto foil.

Then simply twist the foil into a pouch shape and place it in the trash.

Important! If you get used to this method, forget about draining oil into the toilet forever.

Option 2: old rags

You can remove grease and dirt from the pan with old rags, which can be collected in a plastic container. Old towels, torn T-shirts - all this can serve to remove food waste.

With a rag you can wipe the sink itself, as well as the dirt that has accumulated in it.

Simply cut an old T-shirt into small pieces and remove food and grease by wiping down the sink.
