Using too much force can permanently damage a fixture
or pipe.
·
After having a drain cleared mechanically, consider
using a non-toxic biological drain cleaner regularly to keep drains
clear. (Avoid putting bleach or mouthwash down biologically treated
drains because it kills the "friendly bacteria" working to keep your
drains clear.)
GARBAGE DISPOSAL:
·
Although disposers are generally self-cleaning,
grinding small bones, eggshells, citrus peels and pulp, or a little
ice will clean deposits and get rid of odors.
·
Always run cold water when grinding to harden fats
and grease and move waste all the way down the drain lines.
·
Never grind clam or oyster shells, or highly fibrous
materials such as cornhusks, or non-organic materials like glass,
plastic or metal.
Keep in mind, however, that these filters keep your
furnace's heat exchanger clean and efficient, but they do not clean
the air your family breathes by trapping small particles that harbor
bacteria, pollen, mold, dust mites and other irritants.
·
If someone is prone to respiratory ailments or allergies,
consider a higher-performance filter or electronic air cleaner.
Clean or replace air filter; clean condenser or
evaporator coils and condensate drain when in use; be sure to remove
debris or snow from outdoor portion of unit each month.
