FYI: Keeping your drain from clogging with everyday use

I think we've all learned not to put grease down our drains ... boy I hope everyone has!  However, my parents recently had to have the plumber come out because their kitchen sink was clogged.  Come to find out it was grease, but they are really careful about not putting it down their drain (after Mom having the habit years ago! *lol* )  The plumber said handwashing your dishes can cause a build up of grease over time, if you are letting your sink drain AFTER the water cools and AFTER the soap suds have begun to dissolve.

The solution: Use HOT water to wash your dishes with Dawn dishsoap (plenty of suds) and drain the sink before it gets cold or the suds start to break down.   And doesn't hurt to put a teakettle of HOT water down your sink once a week.
