According to The Mirror, below are 3 ways to protect your kitchen sink drain system, recommended by experts at Magnet.
Invest in more garbage filters
Most kitchen sinks are equipped with a filter that prevents large food residues or grease from getting into the pipes. However, installing a larger filter is a good way to prevent the pipes from clogging.
Throw food scraps in the trash before rinsing.
It may seem convenient to simply rinse small food debris on plates and dishes before cleaning, but even the smallest food particles can cause blockages as they can accumulate large amounts of food debris in the drain system over time. To avoid this, simply throw food scraps from plates and cutlery in the trash instead of pouring them into the sink.
Clean sinks and drains regularly
