17 Sep A comprehensive list of things you cannot put down your drains
As plumbers, we see some questionable and funny things when clearing blocked drains. Below is a list of things you should not put down the drain if you do not want them to block!
- Paper Towels.
- Baby wipes
- Receipts
- Newspaper
- Plastic bags
- Cling wrap
- Foil
- Sandwich bags
- Sanitary pads
- TAMPONS
- Nappies
- Condoms
- Cotton balls
- Cotton buds
- Rice
- Pasta
- Flour
- Coffee Grounds
- Fruit and veg scraps
- Hair
- Sand
- Soil
- Egg shells
- Fats
- Oils
- Bones + meat off cuts
- Paint
- Toys
- Anything else that you think is questionable. There are a lot of products available that are advertised as “flushable” but generally are not.
We see all of these things causing problems for our customers on a daily basis and a little of TLC for your drains can save you an unnecessary visit from the plumber.
