Kitchen Drains

Don't pour liquid grease down the drain. Before washing pots and pans, wipe out congealed grease with a paper towel. Run lots of cold water through your garbage disposal both during and after each use. Don't put fibrous or stringy fruits and vegetables like celery, corn silks or banana peels in the garbage disposal. Once a week run hot water down the drain to help keep it free-flowing.

Store small objects away from the toilet. Only use toilet paper in the toilet. Don't try to flush diapers, sanitary napkins, tampons, facial tissue or any other bulky products down the toilet. Be sure the toilet is operating properly. The tank should fill with water to the recommended level and the toilet should flush completely with adequate force.

Tubs and Showers
