Summary
Your kitchen sink is a plumbing disaster waiting to happen—don’t pour grease, oils, or sauces down it. Scrape plates, use paper towels, and strain food bits. And in the bathroom? Stick to the three P’s: pee, poo, and toilet paper. Everything else—including those “flushable” wipes—goes in the bin. Why? Because plastic wipes are choking sewers, costing £200 million a year, and turning into microplastics that harm wildlife and our food chain. The UK’s about to ban them—starting in Wales by 2026. Bin it. Don’t flush it.
