Leftover flour

After cooking, leftover flour can end up in the sink in the kitchen. However, not all housewives know that flour, once in the sewer, can cause another blockage.

Coffee

You can wash away granulated coffee drinks down the sink or toilet. However, this rule does not apply to ground coffee.

Coffee grounds have a high density and are especially dangerous for pipes with insufficient slope.

Pasta

During the cooking process, some varieties of pasta and cereals swell greatly, and when they get into the sewer, they clog the pipe.

Be sure to use a colander when rinsing pasta and cereals.

Fat

Fats of animal and vegetable origin, when they enter the sewer, remain on the walls of the pipes, forming a film that makes movement difficult. Over time, fat deposits accumulate, leading to clogging.
