Drain and sink traps household cleaning prevention tip
I am writing a series of blogs, which are aimed at what I call domestic cleaning prevention! Strictly speaking these tips are focused more on the
minimising of your domestic cleaning requirements within your household, by discribing ways that you can reduce the spread of filth, grime and germs throughout your household.
This tip is aimed at preventing blockages in your sink trap or your outside drain trap. Always scrape your waste food away into your household waste disposal point as washing it down your sink hole could lead to your sink getting blocked. Also it could leave an unhealthy revolting smell coming from within your sink or your outside drain.
Also never pour hot fat or grease down your sink as it can cool very rapidly and solidify in your traps and cause you to have a smelly unhygenic flood especially from your outside drain.
By simply taking care of where you dispose of your food waste you could save yourself an awful smelly mess to have to deal with.
Please note that I am producing these cleaning reduction tips in good faith and has such will take no responsibility for any failure or damage that may be caused or attributed by the use of any of the cleaning reduction tips given.

Great tips once again Robin! I use to tip the lil leftover bits into the sink then gather them up but always some managed to get away. Then it wasnt long after we had to get a plumber in to unclog the drains. Talk about being costly!
Now, I have a small plastic lined bin near the prep area and toss everything into that, and dispose of used oil in empty cartons. If everyone could do this, our waterways would surely improve, not to mention not having to pay plumbers!
OMG what is that cheeky lil boy doing it that picture above? LOL

Hi Miz Helena,
Thank you once again for your kind and encouraging words, they are always very welcome.
That little boy is a dummy that is on display at the Charles Dickens Centre in Chatham Kent. If you ever get the chance to come over here the Charles Dickens Centre is well worth paying a visit too.
