Most household chores people perform on the "machine". So, for example, where to put sour soup, if not to drain it into the toilet? Deep-frying oil and much more are also sent there. Similarly, different little things fly instead of a garbage can into the sink.

However, such seemingly innocuous actions can cause serious problems with plumbing in the future. Everything that will be listed below should be sent to the trash can and only, otherwise, you should keep the plumber's phone at hand - it will definitely come in handy.

 

1. Rice and pasta

Both of them tend to swell in the water and get into lumps of impressive size. And since they dissolve much more slowly in water, the blockage is guaranteed over time.

2. Eggshells

 

В раковину не следует смывать яичную скорлупу.

 

Eggshells should not be washed off in the sink.

Even small particles from the shell can not be washed into the sink. Sharp fragments like a magnet cling to larger pieces of food, forming lumps of serious size. All this will eventually lead to an inevitable blockage.

3. Oil and fat

 

В раковину не следует смывать масло и жир.

 

Oil and fat should not be washed into the sink.

Where does the oil usually go after frying or deep-frying? Pour into the sink or toilet. But fat does not dissolve in water, but settles on pipes. And when in contact with cold water, it also freezes on them. Of course, nothing terrible will happen the first time, but time after time the layer will grow more and more. Proper disposal of oil is as follows: after the oil has cooled, you need to add a little cool water, drip detergent, drain everything into a bag, and then send the waste to the garbage bin.

4. Coffee grounds

"Coffee grounds should not be washed into the sink.

It would seem, what can harm such a small crumb? Everything is very simple - water does not take coffee grounds, so it slowly but surely settles in the pipes, and subsequently "gives" problems with plumbing. By the way, do you know what is the No. 1 cause of clogged pipes in the kitchen? Coffee grounds!

5. Flour

The exception is specialized means designed to clean toilets, as well as to eliminate blockages in pipes. But even in this case, it is not recommended to show fanaticism. And the reason for this is similar to that of drugs - all this chemistry inevitably falls into the oceans and into the water that flows from the tap.

7. Medicines

A lot of drugs have good solubility in water and do not form any blockage, unless you dispose of the entire package of the drug at a time. It is impossible to wash them off in the toilet and sink for another reason - dissolving in a liquid, they saturate the water and thereby poison it. Filters for water clean it from dirt and microorganisms, but they can not eliminate the consequences of dissolved chemicals. At a minimum, you need to throw medicines in the trash, and even better - take them to the nearest pharmacy and hand them over to the pharmacist. They have access to the proper disposal of such products.

8. Stickers with vegetables and fruits

Перед помывкой овощей и фруктов этикетки с них нужно обязательно снимать, но вот выбрасывать их следует в мусорное ведро. Эта бумага не разлагается в воде, зато прекрасно оседает в трубах и налипает на их стенки.

Despite the fact that modern industry has moved to a new round of evolution and began to produce "water-soluble" things - it is better not to take risks. After all, throwing the same baby napkins into the garbage bin is quite easy, but the pipes will be free.

10. Paper

Of course, we are not talking about toilet paper, the structure of which is perfectly compatible with the toilet. But everything that does not apply to it, it is better to wash off in the toilet and not to try.

11. Paint

Any paint has a very sticky and viscous consistency, which is very dangerous for pipes. Moreover, all this periodic table, having settled on the walls of the sewer, negatively affects the health of the residents themselves with their vapors.

12. Condoms

Interestingly, for some reason, many dispose of condoms by flurrying in the toilet, and this is categorically impossible. There are several reasons for this. First, the latex from which condoms are made does not dissolve in water. Secondly, there is a risk that the condom will get stuck in the knee or outlet. Thirdly, the rubber band can form a plug and cause obstruction of the sewer system. Given all this, if you do not want unnecessary problems, it is better to throw this contraceptive in the trash.
