Too many make this mistake when they wash the forehead: becomes expensive in length

We all know it.

When greasy frying pans need to be washed, we pull out almost all the same old method. We pour hot water into it and let the fat melt away.

If you would like to avoid clogged drains and sour plumbing bills, it might be time to think differently.

In fact, experts warn against using boiling water on greasy surfaces.

When the hot water hits the fat and combined with soap, a kind of emulsion is formed, which is a greasy cocktail that slides elegantly through the drain – at least until it hits cold pipes.

Here it can solidify and be transformed into a hard mass that over time can lead to serious plugs in the pipes.

It is also no secret that few people enjoy standing with their hand far down in a clogged wash and trying to dig forward to the culprit.

Do this instead

The first step is low practical but effective.

Wipe off as much grease with a kitchen towel as possible and throw it in the trash – not in the sink.

Are there still fat residues left? Then turn the mindset upside down and use cold water.

It sounds strange, but cold water causes the fat to solidify quickly, so you can more easily scrape it away instead of flushing it out.

It may be that the cleaning process takes a little longer, but if that eventually prevents a stopped drain, then it might be worth a few minutes.
