TWO THINGS we are thinking about today. The holiday season is here. I know that it’s coming earlier every year, right?
Those bathroom wipes that say they are “flushable” – THEY ARE NOT. Don’t believe it. Just about every drain cleaning we do requires removing these wipes. So keeping a separate covered container for them after use until carried outside to the trash can save you a big headache. Hey, put a sign on it!
Another thing to remember is that while you are cooking up all those delicious meals you are also finding yourself with used oils and fats that need to be disposed of. Do yourself a huge favor and have a coffee can or empty can near your sink while preparing food. That way hot liquid fats can be contained and disposed of with your regular trash when cooled. Used oils can be poured into jars with lids for disposal. Having these items ready will keep you from rinsing fats and oils down the drain and that can also save you a big headache. Hardened grease clogs drains.
Use your garbage disposal carefully and be sure to run plenty of cold water after use.
So the TWO Biggie’s are preparation and control and that leaves all the rest of the time for family and friends.
Happy Thanksgiving. We are thankful for YOU!
