\n

Many people treat\u00a0kitchen sinks<\/a>\u00a0like trash cans. While cooking, you may throw just about anything into it, turn the garbage disposal on, and hope it all washes away through the pipes. However, this is not always the case. There are several items that may build up in the plumbing lines, clogging your system and leading to expensive repairs. Furthermore, some items that are commonly thrown down the sink may create blockage and need to be extracted by a professional plumber.<\/p>\n

Here are 5 things you should never put down the\u00a0kitchen sink:<\/p>\n

Grease, cooking oil, and animal fat (which will harden and build up in the pipes)
\nCoffee grinds
\nFruit or vegetable peels
\nEgg shells
\nSoft foods that enlarge with water (pasta, beans, potatoes, rice, etc.)
\nInstead of using your sink as a garbage can, put these items into the trash. If necessary, you should move a trash can closer to your cooking area for convenience. This will help prevent\u00a0plumbing problems\u00a0and increase the lifespan of your drains. Furthermore, using natural and environmentally friendly drain cleaning products, such as vinegar or baking soda, can help avoid blockages in your pipes and let your drains run smoother.<\/p>\n
