Sink and basin traps household cleaning tip No53
I am hoping that you will find this household cleaning tip that gives you free advice on how you can prevent the blocking up of your sink and basin traps to be useful. You will also find below a link to other household
domestic cleaning tips that constitute part of this series of blogs that I am currently publishing on a regular basis.
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 bin as washing it down your sink hole could lead to your sink getting blocked. Also it could leave you with an unhealthy revolting smell coming up from within your sink or alternatively your outside drain.
Also never pour hot fat or grease down your sink as this can cool very rapidly and solidify in your traps and cause you to have a smelly unhygenic flood especially from within 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 have produced these cleaning 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 tips given.

You asked on BlogCatalog for cleaning tips: this isn’t exactly a cleaning tip, it’s a tip for keeping things clean.
If you collect kitchen scraps for composting, rather than dumping the scraps into a tub or bucket where they get sticky, stinky, and hard to get out (coffee grounds and potato peelings sticking to the sides, needing lots of water), just put a brown paper bag (appropriate size) into your clean, dry composting bucket, and empty it daily, or more often. It’ll lift out, no fuss, no muss. AND, better yet, it contributes to your ‘brown waste’ component needed for good compost. For best composting, use a trowel or a garden claw to break up the bags every now and then to speed composting.

A belated YW. I love this tip; I am still doing it after a year and it’s great in so many ways. I find my compost is way better with the addition of the paper, and everything is so much cleaner. Also, gives me something to do with the brown paper bags that are contaminated with food waste (from being filled with delivery food, usually), since in my district paper contaminated with food waste can’t be recycled.
