Do not flush oil or tissue down the sewer
Flushing oil, kitchen garbage, tissue paper, etc. into the sewer can clog the drainpipe, making the kitchen, toilet, and bathroom unusable and causing bad odors.
- Instead of flushing used oil and mayonnaise, soak up them with newspaper and dispose of them as "burnable garbage."
- Wipe off any oil or mayonnaise on the dishes before washing them.
- Use a drain bag on the triangular corner of the sink to keep garbage from flowing.
- Don't flush anything other than toilet paper as it can cause clogging.
