Whether you are cooking or not. Sometimes people use the drain as a trash can, even when they are in a hurry. But there are some things that should not be put in the drain. Here are some tips to help you avoid getting caught in the gutters.

Rice absorbs water and blocks the pipes. Uncooked raw rice should not be dumped in drains. When the grains get wet, they sprout and accumulate, blocking the water.

Eggshells seem soft and fragile. But eggshells can be a nuisance to water pipes. When wet, the eggshells stick together and stick to the tube. If it sticks too much, it can be difficult to remove the eggshell.

Calcium-rich pasta noodles are also dangerous for downstream pipelines. Noodles are more likely to swell when exposed to water and clog pipes. Hot water can be poured into the drain to solve the blockage of the pasta. You can also mix vinegar and baking soda to melt the pasta.

Be careful not to spill any cooking oil into the tap. Oils can also stick to pipes and clog the pipes over time. It is best to wipe off any residue of cooking oil in a bowl or paper towel.

Household paints should not be thrown down the drain. Paints contain chemicals that can be toxic to water and soil. It is important to dispose of these items carefully as they can clog the pipes when the medicine dries.
