If sewerage was invented, it means that someone needs it – this is what frivolous housewives think before flushing some obscene thing down the drain.
But who thinks at such moments that some products and items should not be disposed of in this way? And the blockage in the pipe has nothing to do with it.
We will tell you about things and objects that cannot be flushed down the drain, either in the toilet or in the kitchen.
1. Hygiene items
All kinds of wet wipes, diapers, contraceptives and other hygiene products are disposed of only through the trash can. The same applies to dental floss, cotton pads, and sticks.
2. Food products
Oddly enough, pasta, cereals, potatoes and other products containing flour and starch should not be flushed down the drain either – blockages cannot be avoided
3. Chemistry
Paint, other solvents and chemical products should not be poured down the drain, and this is not about blockages, but about the attitude towards the environment.
4. Medicines
Think about the complex chemical composition of a simple cough pill and what will happen to aquatic life when pills and other medications get into the water.
5. Coffee
It is much more useful to collect coffee grounds in a jar, to use them later in the garden against pests or in some other way. In the kitchen drain, it will cause a blockage.
6. Milk
Another interesting point. They say that the bacteria living in it actively absorb oxygen from the water, which can lead to an ecological disaster. They also say that in some countries you can get a fine for this.
