Pouring hot water down the sink, thought to be good, turns out to have 2 big dangers, many people don't know this
Many people have the habit of pouring hot water, maybe water from blanching vegetables, vegetable water or boiling water, down the sink to help unclog the drain and remove odors. However, pouring hot water into the sink like that can cause bigger problems than you think.
Reasons why you shouldn't pour hot water down the sink
- Aging the drain pipe
The drain pipe in the kitchen area is usually made of plastic. Although this pipe can be made of heat-resistant plastic, pouring hot water many times over a long period of time will cause the pipe to age faster.
You will also have to replace the drain pipe soon if you continuously pour hot water down the drain pipe in the sink.
Depending on the material used to make the drain pipe, its heat resistance and durability will also be different. If you use a pipe made of PVC plastic, you should pay attention. Such pipes do not withstand heat well. Meanwhile, vegetable broth and vegetable blanching water often have quite high temperatures, above 90 degrees Celsius. Pouring hot water down the drain pipe can cause the pipe to deform and crack. Leaking water will also damage kitchen cabinets, especially wooden kitchen cabinets.
Some ways to clear clogged drain pipes due to grease
Grease and food residue accidentally flow into the drain pipe. Some will accumulate in the pipe. In the long run, blockage will occur.
When the pipe is clogged, the wastewater will flow slowly and also give off an unpleasant odor. To overcome this situation, you can apply the following method.
- Treat grease on dishes, pots and pans before washing
Before washing dishes, you should remove all leftover food and pour excess grease into the trash. You can use disposable paper to remove excess grease before putting it in the sink to clean.
This will both limit grease from entering the drain and make cleaning dishes easier. After wiping, just put the paper in the trash.
- Use a specialized drain cleaner
When the pipe is clogged, you can use a specialized drain cleaner. The main ingredient of this product is soluble enzymes. It will emulsify grease stains in the drain, inhibit the growth of bacteria, and eliminate odors.
After pouring the drain cleaner into the sink, it will go deep into the pipe and remove all grease and dirt without damaging the pipe material. When using this product, you should read the instructions carefully when using. During use, wear gloves and mask for protection.
