POP-UP STOPPER

savings but not so good for keeping drains dry.
The lower volume of water often doesnt take
debris away, but leaves it in your pipes to
accumulate.
The pop-up stopper is a hair trap, dental floss
and other yucky stuff on your bathroom lavatory.
The pop-up stopper on your bathroom lavatory is
a hair charm, dental floss and other yucky stuff.
Its easy to grind food in a dispenser and send
it down the drain, but it can clog drains.

DONT USE THE TOILET AS A WASTEBASKET

• It is tempting to pour into the toilet all sorts
  of personal care products. There is a big drain
  hole, after all, and the stuff usually goes down
  okay.
• But just because the dental floss goes down the
  drain of the toilet does not mean that it is
  going to make it to the main sewer. Its
  possible something in your pipes will get
  snagged and starts a clog.
