What NOT to Pour Down Your Kitchen Sink

Protect Your Pipes and the Planet

Your kitchen sink drain might seem like a magical gateway where food scraps disappear, but pouring the wrong things down can lead to costly clogs and environmental damage. Here's a quick guide to what you should never let wash down your drain.

1. Grease, Fats, and Oils

This is the number one enemy of plumbing. While liquid when hot, grease solidifies in your pipes as it cools, creating a sticky trap for other debris. Over time, this builds into a stubborn blockage. Best practice: Pour cooled grease into a disposable container and throw it in the trash.
