1. Excess flour and leftover rice
Many people have the undesirable habit of letting leftover rice go down the dishwashing sink. These rice grains get stuck, unable to flow away, combined with dirt, causing the dishwashing sink to clog.
On the other hand, flour, when in contact with water, creates a thick, adhesive mixture that can block the drain pipe of the dishwashing sink, causing inconvenience for users. Therefore, dispose of rice in the trash bin.
2. Animal bones
Absolutely avoid pouring pork bones or fish bones down the dishwashing sink as they are prone to getting stuck. Moreover, animal bones with fat left in the dishwashing sink for a long time can solidify, leading to clogging.
So, wait for excess oil to cool completely, then pour it into a bottle or can and dispose of it in the trash bin.
3. Grease
This is a common mistake people often make after cleaning dishes. Pouring grease down the drain for an extended period will cause it to solidify and stick to the drain walls, leading to blockages.
4. Paper towels
In case you accidentally leave a non-dissolving paper towel in the dishwashing sink, it can cause clogging. Paper towels absorb water and clump, leading to drain blockages.
5. Coffee grounds
Did you know that non-soluble coffee grounds can pose a threat to your kitchen sink? When coffee grounds mix with grease or other residues, it could lead to annoying clogs in your sink drain.
Hence, the best way to handle coffee grounds is to use them as fertilizer for plants or dispose of them in the trash. You can also air-dry the coffee grounds and use them to eliminate odors from shoes, refrigerators, and the kitchen.
These are the leftover items after the Lunar New Year that you should never dump down the sink to avoid blockages and inconvenience. Keep these tips in mind and stay tuned to Mytour for quick updates on the most useful news.
