Hey everyone! 📢
Have you ever poured grease down the drain after cooking? 🍳 You might have heard it's not a good idea, but it's tempting when you're feeling lazy. 🤔 However, if you do this frequently, it can cause some serious blockages in your pipes. 😱
Running hot water down the drain won't prevent grease from sticking, and pouring it down the garbage disposal isn't a good solution either. The blades won't destroy the grease and will become less effective over time. ⚠️
If you notice slow drainage, gurgling noises, or bad smells coming from your drain, it's a sign that a clog is forming. If you can't get rid of it, call a plumber! 📞
So, what's the proper way to dispose of grease? If you have a little amount left in a pan, let it sit out until it solidifies, then wipe it out with a paper towel and throw it in the trash. 🗑️
If you cook with a lot of grease, keep a jar or can specifically for collecting it. Drain the oil into the container and let it solidify. Once it's full, throw it in the trash. 🚮
Remember, don't compost your grease! It will only make your pile smell and attract animals. 🦝
Take care of your pipes and use these simple tips to dispose of your extra oil properly! 😊
