Don't Put These Down Your Drain

Most of know not to put coffee grounds, medications, fat or lard, egg shells or fruit feelings down the drain. But there are a couple other things we may not realize could cause drain issues. Here they are:
* Rice - As more and more rice goes down the drain starch molecules begin to build up and over time can cause a blockage. Rice can also attract other food debris and create an even larger problem.
* Butter - Once butter hits the cold pipes it quickly solidifies and can cause major clogs.
I hope this was helpful.

Makes sense....although sometimes little bits of things you can't help.
