- Do not put potatoes, potato peels, bread products, pasta, corn husks, banana peels, or melon rinds down the disposal.
- Do not pour cooking oils or meat grease down your drain because it becomes solid once cooled down and will clog your drain.
- Do not use store bought drain cleaners as the harsh chemicals in them can erode your pipes over time and cause severe and costly damages.
- Do not flush any baby wipes or flushable wipes down the toilet as they do not dissolve the same as toilet paper.
- Fix running toilets as they can add up to large water bills.
- Beware of you children’s toys ending up in the toilet bowl! If this happens, don’t fret. Use a wire hanger to carefully extract said object from the toilet.
