Preventing Drain Clogs When Washing the Dishes

Simple dishwashing can turn into a disaster if you’re not careful about keeping debris out of your drain. It’s easy to let bits of food from plates slip down the drain. Over time, even the small crumbs you wash down your drain can build up into major clogs.

In this video, you’ll get some tips for keeping your drains clog-free when you wash dishes. Start by scraping your plates off thoroughly into the trash can or a garbage disposal. Make sure your sink drain cover doesn’t have holes large enough to let food slip through. Clean up any food that ends up in your sink or on top of your drain right away, and avoid putting cooking oil down your drain.
