Many people, out of habit, throw away many products that they shouldn't.

This results in problems of clogging and unpleasant odor.

Many people, after cooking, without any hesitation, throw the frying pan in the sink and start washing it. As a result, the oil left after frying ends up in the plumbing.

Is it possible to do this?

As it turns out, this action is strictly prohibited. If you ignore the recommendation, you will have to deal with the blockage on a permanent basis.

After just a few washings of pans with oil, you will notice that the water in the sink begins to flow much more slowly.

Also, because of this habit, an unpleasant smell appears from the pipes in the kitchen.

Therefore, experienced housewives should find a safer method of disposal of vegetable oil. For example, it can be simply poured into a bin or bag, and then immediately taken out the trash.

But light traces of oil that remain on the dishes will not cause any harm to the sink.
