13 Things You Shouldn't Dump Down the Drain
Вставка

- There are some substances that are particularly dangerous for your drain. Follow some simple rules and avoid dumping certain things down your drain to save your money and nerves.
Why is a clogged drain so terrible in the first place? The most obvious reason is that you can do serious and expensive damage to your kitchen or bathroom. Plus, the water in your drains is dirty already, and it obviously gets worse with garbage inside. Finally, not only does it give off a terrible smell, but it can also cause complications with certain health conditions like asthma or allergies.
Next time you’ve had a delicious meal, scrape any leftovers from your plate into the trash where they belong instead of washing them down the drain. Remember that eggshells, coffee grounds, oils and fats, as well as flour, should never go in your drain. Some people think that medicine dissolves easily in water, so they throw expired pills down the drain. In reality, they don’t dissolve in water, they contaminate it. Hair is one of the most common reasons why pipes get clogged in the bathroom. When the hair goes into the tub’s drain, it gets stuck inside and forms a ball that acts likes a net for other waste. Condoms and feminine products are a nightmare for your toilet’s pipes and drain, as well.

SUMMARY
-Pasta and rice absorb water and expand blocking the drain.
-Eggshell pieces can get stuck to each other and form one big massive hunk over time.
-If you pour it down the drain in large amounts, milk can cause some serious environmental problems.
-Imagine flour and water combining inside your drain and making a glue-like substance. It can attract other waste and form a huge clog.
-Coffee grounds are one of your drain’s arch nemeses.
-Cooking oil mixes with other kinds of waste and strengthens their clogging powers.
-Believe it or not, medicines don’t dissolve in water, they contaminate it.
-When the hair goes into the tub’s drain, it gets stuck inside and forms a ball that acts likes a net for other waste.
-Stickers themselves are made of materials that take a very long time to decompose, plus, they have glue on them.
-Never put building waste, be it even tiny pieces and powder-like debris, down the drain.
-Condoms can stretch really well and get stuck inside pipes or get filled with air, water, or other waste which will lead to a very serious clog.
-Cigarette butts are made of a synthetic material that never dissolves and harmful chemicals, like nicotine, which can contaminate the water supply.
-Remember that feminine products can dramatically increase in size, and it leads to a very serious clog.

Who in their right minds would put the following in their sink: condoms, feminine products, flour!! Like what the heck. I understand the milk though
Armani Versace I used to work at a supermarket on the occasions I had to bring back a leaking milk to the grocery back room they made me pour it down there drain the sink. First couple of times I didn't do it cuz I just wanted to bring a good milk back to the customer and I got yelled at. Nice to know I was right all along not to dump milk down the sink.
I'll tell you puts those things down the drain.....bad tenants !!
@@olesam8970 because most landlords are slumlords anyway 😂 😂 😂
Flour maybe
AND WHO WOULD PUT SPAGHETTI DOWN THE DRAIN
Thank you for this video. I have shared it with my tenants who dont seem to grasp the fact that the only thing that goes down the plug hole is water. Its like the think it magically disappears once they’ve squeezed it through the trap
It helps to pour boiling water down your drain from time to time to sanitize and can help with small amounts of buildup.
Good idea.
Or Coke
I dropped 12 pills down the drain accidentally will it help it’s going back up and flowing again but it’s not clear and don’t won’t my mom to find out
@@emanuelhrenka4899 that's totally harmless
@@creamcake_pop1120 Should probably drop something acidic inside, like heated vinegar. It can help dissolve at least SOME pills.
Who even throws these things down the drain, seems so foolish. These are all common sense.
Samagya Karki Hi, can I ask you to give me your opinon about my channel and thank you 😄
And mine lol
A so called University student throws chicken bones down the toilet causing a clogged drain and leakage in an apartment complex and I had to listen to the property owners complain about it
Well everyone has dumped milk down the drain once.
Not me, I always drink milk in a pack rather than a glass.
6:26 SOOOOOO FAMILY FRIENDLY
I think it's better to trow nothing in your drain
stein Hi, can I ask you to give me your opinon about my channel and thank you 😄
What about air or more water (fresh and clean)
stein besides bleach and water 😁
Its spelled throw not trow
Astrolabe are you a fact channel?
I would like to congratulate you on your great work for years on and I'm hoping that you'll make a lot of videos in the future for tips and such
We dump our grease into an aluminum can in the fridge and throw it away when the can gets full
be careful because after a few dumps, the can caN GET CLOGGED.
Haha
Sameee
Love how the plumber guy actually moves his mouth properly to the words
Except when it kept moving after he stopped talking.

Another sign of a sink drain needing cleaning is when you see some very tiny moths coming out of there. The environment further down is perfect for them to thrive in.

WHAT TINY MOTH'S WTH NUH UH

It makes sense not to put solids down the drain unless you have a garbage disposal
It took me forever to realize the plumber was talking
JL took me 5 minutes also
What plumber
I saw im talking, but thought he was a builder.
Noticed after seeing your comment 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah... I learned about the oil one the hard way a long time ago. Could have used this video back then.
thats great.. i m from PAkistan.. and this one is awsome..
I learn so much from these videos

I just backed up my kitchen sink royally by forgetting that I shouldn't put pasta down the disposal. Took 4 days for my husband to completely fix the problem. Another major way I have killed my disposal and sink pipes: peelings (potatoes, oranges, etc.) This video is so true.
Okay. How do we unclog or unblock our kitchen grain?

Amazing! I hope you know your videos make my day? Who else agrees ?
NOT ME
Who puts flour in their sinks?
I know it’s commen sense

i could say the same for most of the items on this list..
But some people are just complete idiots when it comes to things you should never throw down the drain.
Me
So much happened 🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴👏👏👏
Thanks
Found a bunch of canning lids in the drain under our toilet after moving into a new house and replacing it because it wouldn't stop leaking. I don't even want to know why someone would do that.
So much happens 😲 wow
how hard is it to put not liquids in not the drain?
comsidering ever sink Ive seen has a trashcan next to or under it not very
Hi. I might have flushed/put these down the drain, but I never do on purpose! I regularly don't notice.
This is why we have garbage disposers
Hair from shaving seems to be the worse. I have learned the hard way.
Omg #8 is incredibly true, found out hard way
Will we have to worry about clogs if the drain is huge (unless there is a huge amount of clogging material (why would we even do that))?
That's why there's no such thing as a "flushable" wipe; even if it says so on the box or packet or whatever container it came in!
So now I can't stay fresh 😲 next youre gonna take away our guns! 😂 😂 😂 Americans are fun!
This is such a great video
The graboid was a very nice throwback from tremors!
My 2 year old and I were working on a craft project at the same time lunch dishes were being put in the dishwasher and my two year old put the glue dish we were using in the dishwasher and of course I didn't catch it and it went through the entire cycle if there is anything I can use to dissolve the glue from the drain pump any suggestions
I sure don't want to replace a new dishwasher I just got this 18 month ago
2:10 its called oobleck
4:35 at first I thought he said air
McNugget Show because he did
So help full
It's hard to completely avoid oil and flour. I try to clean off dishes as best I can of oil and flour before washing. Garbage disposals still put food oils in your drain. As far as building materials the housing market is getting terrible. A lot of contractors are not careful about things going down the drains when preparing properties for sell or rent, especially these big property management companies buying up property in other states

I almost clogged the drain with syrup, but thankfully my dad stopped me before I did.
Actually syrup is basically just sugar, so it dissolves fine in water. Test it out by mixing some syrup into a glass of warm water!
what i turn the water to hottest setting and slowly poured the oil down with it...does that make a difference..in my mind it seems like it does
What about plant based milk. Is it bad to dump in the drain for the same reasons regular milk is?
I pour milk down drains all the time.
Jp Jp same
same
you're not alone
Milk is bad news anyway. Down it goes
Most of them i tried doing it. Omg! I'll try my best to change that kind of habit.
Let me guess no.1 IS water
Tess de Kretser Actually, it's rice and pasta.
Nice....
Fantastic.....
Mind Blowing....
Fabulous....
Superb.....
Best.... 😘😘❤❤
But we have the sharp mortar thing that cuts things that get stuck does that help

Nothing should be dumped down the drain, except water.
John Smith what about washing liquid
Szillar yea, you got me. But really,,, dish soap has a lot of bad stuff in it. But ye, dish soap too. Oh, and spit.
No. Liquid soaps (and the solid kind too, for that matter) are made from oil, which is specifically on the list.
Never knew that.
Does having a garbage disposal in the sink have any impact on drains and sewers when used?
This morning I poured milk down the drain and now I know not to do that anymore so then what do you do with it once you're done using it pour it down the toilet
I know 1 thing your not supposed to dump down the drain. Grease.
Andrew Santora 😂😂 I posted this comment before I saw that it was on this video. But when my sister and I would cook with meat we would dump the grease down the sink without knowing we weren't supposed to do that so we suddenly had a problem but thank god for our brother's friend that fixed it. So since then we haven't dumped grease down there since. We know better. But the rest that is in this video that's good to know.😉
Yeah, he already mentioned oils and fats...
WHAT IS THAT 32 views and 60 likes.
*One job you tube,you had one job...*
Yoni Encheva710 it’s because a view is more than just a few seconds, it’s about 1 min depending on the video. Some people like the video when they first get to the video. Therefore, there are more likes than views to begin with.
Thanks
Yoni Encheva710 When you're too early 😆
You had one job, spelling youtube together lol. (JK don’t take this seriously)
Lai-chan ' I don't took it but,UA-cam or You Tube,who cares? That's not an test
very useful video thankyou
Well, I used a bottle to make cold brew coffee, I strained the coffee grounds with a plastic filter which goes with my coffee maker, it's Reusable and I've washed out the coffee grounds into my drain for 5 years now, now that I've seen this video I'll just throw them out by the bushes from now on, but what should I put down the drain so the coffee grounds won't get stuck?
Thoughts.... Don't dump them down the drain.
Useful video...Well done. I am glad to be a subscriber...
Thank you! Now I know!
I did indeed enjoyed this video, but you didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. I guess that's a good thing.
I have done some of the things........ Disgusting...
So much happened in this video
I put a lit firecracker down my drain once. Never had a clog since.
love the music!
We are about to get 9M subscribers
Wow
I'm not sure if anyone's tried to dump coffee grains or medications either
I feel like I need to see more of the kitchen animations to truly understand.
Early so let me make a joke
Me: idk 😐........
2019?
I think from number 9 and on, it's pretty obvious, plus the fact that they are solid material..
I have a small strainer that holds rice, and when I'm done we chuck the contains out
Nice video bright side

Cool I didn’t know that some of these could affect your drain wow I think the people that do some of these stuff hear this stuff so they know well if you don’t do this stuff then good if you do it then there’s a problem about that but I hope know one has to hear this information about the drain.
Well I Hope Everyone Has An Awesome Day!!! Bye!!
WOW that’s long.
Quite the run-on sentence. (Part grammar freak)
Signs: don't flush anything down the toilet besides toilet paper
Me: what about our waste?
Early👌💫

For nearly all of the "things", I thought who in their right mind would dump this down the drain? People do this?

I mean you can`t REALLY stop hair from falling in but there are things like to catch hair and stuff but I forget what they're called.
I agree with hair
Thanks For The Advice My Name Is Malaysia
Make a video on how can we clean dt pipe.....
Even though NONE of these things and plenty of others should be dumped down the drain, I try to keep my drains clean by using baking soda and vinegar every 2 weeks.
I really like the plumber art
