Our first bit of advice is to avoid letting oils and grease go down your sink. This is very common and very damaging for your pipes. It may be easy to simply pour these things down the drain, but in the long term you’ll seriously regret it. Instead of letting it go down your pipes, collect it in a jar or bottle. Once it’s full, put it into the regular rubbish bin. You should do the same with food scraps. Otherwise, you could get a smelly and frustrating blocked sink.
It’s also very important that you are careful what you flush down the toilet. If you let items like nappies, wet wipes, or sanitary products go down your pipes, your Airport West home may get a blocked toilet. Even ‘flushable’ wipes can cause this issue. Remember – if it isn’t toilet paper or human waste, it belongs in the bin. If you have small kids, make sure you tell them what they should and shouldn’t flush.
