- in
sinks or tubs where hair is washed, use a plastic or
metal "hair catcher" or screen to catch hair before it
gets into the drain.
- don't
pour grease down kitchen drains; pour liquid grease
from cooking into empty tin cans & set in
refrigerator until solidified; put can into tightly
closed plastic bag, wrap in newspapers & put into
trash bag.
- For
grease buildup, dissolve 1 pound washing soda in 3
gallons of boiling water & pour down the drain. To
avoid burns from boiling water, hold water container
close to drain & pour slowly & directly into
drain. For heavy grease buildup, use an enzyme drain
cleaner.
- periodic
use of a drain cleaner will prevent accumulations in
the pipe. Be sure to read & follow directions on
the container.
- drain
cleaners are very hazardous so be very careful in
using them.
