01
Why the pipe objects
Wet flour becomes sticky dough that can coat a trap and hold other debris in place.
02
Do this instead
Brush dry flour into the trash. Wipe wet batter or dough from bowls before washing.
03
Already did it?
Do not add more flour, starch or grease. If a large amount went down or the drain slows, stop using it and call a plumber.
