The problems of blocked Drains are faced by people across the world. No matter how good drainage system you have, if you fail to use it in the right way, you will always encounter terrific blockages. There are several reasons that lead to clogged drains or blocked drains (whatever you call them) and it’s your responsibility to figure them out so that you can avoid drainage problems. Whenever you use your kitchen sink and washroom you have to be extremely cautious about what goes down the drains if you really want to avoid future drainage problems.

You cannot take your drainage issues lightly because once you face them you have to deal with different kinds of unhygienic conditions which can even make you sick if left unresolved for a couple of days. For example, if the drain pipe connected to your kitchen sink gets blocked, you will have to deal with the problem of an overflowing sink. If you fail to fix this problem immediately, you will also have to deal the foul smell that will come out from your sink.

So rather than going through all these problems, it’s better to avoid those mistakes which can create blockages in your drains.

Read on to figure out what are those mistakes which you must avoid on a daily basis.

Don’t Flush Vegetable Particles in the Sink

Most of the times while cooking food in your kitchen, you fail to pay attention to small mistakes which can, later on, create big problems for you. For example, only a few people make use of a vegetable strainer when it comes to washing chopped veggies in your sink. The use of vegetable strainer is very important if you want to stop finely chopped veggies from going down the drain. In other words, those people who do not use vegetable strainer end up flushing a few vegetable particles into their kitchen sink each day, which eventually contributes to the formation of blockages in the drainage system.

Prevent Fat & Oil From Going Down The Drain

Both fat and oil play a great role in the formation of fatbergs in your drain pipes. If you pour oil in your kitchen sink, it will end up sticking to other types of solid waste in your drain pipes such as vegetable particles, leftover pieces of bread, rotten fruits, and wet napkins etc. When fat and oil keep attracting the solid waste that flows throw the drains along with the chemicals, over a period of time it ends up forming fatbergs, which block your drains.

So while preparing food and washing the cookwares and bakeware, make sure you avoid flushing unwanted food particles into your sink especially oil and fat.

Transfer Food Particles From Dishes To Dustbin

Once you are done with having your food, make sure that you transfer all types of remaining food particles from the dishes to your dustbin. It means, before keeping the dishes and cookware in the sink you need to clean the food particles from them so that nothing goes down the drain.

You should also inform all your family members to take necessary precautions when it comes to preventing the formation of blockages and fatbergs in your drain pipes. If you have small kids at home teach them effectively that they need to throw all the rotten fruits, veggies and foods in the dustbin.

Apart from that, you must use drain strainers so that you can stop unnecessary things from entering your drains. Sometimes it happens that you end up throwing food into the drain by mistake, in that case, a drain strainer can stop it from entering the pipes. On top of that, you should also clean your drains with baking soda and hot water every 15 days.
