How Can I Prevent Kitchen Clogs?

Fatty deposits or greases repeatedly poured or washed down a sink drain often cause clogs. Fatty deposits cool and solidify along the walls of your pipes. After a while, these deposits can trap other debris slowing your drain. Before you know it, your pipes are already clogged completely.

To prevent kitchen drain clogs, avoid letting certain foods go down the drain. Common causes of problems are banana peels, coffee grounds, eggshells and potato skins. Expanding foods — such as rice, bread and pasta — should be put in the trash. As for fatty deposits and grease, pour them into a sealable container and throw the container in the garbage.

Add a capful of Mr. Muscle^® drain cleaner to your drains each month as another preventive measure for blockage.
