01

Why the pipe objects

Nail clippings do not readily dissolve and can collect in a trap with hair and soap residue.

02

Do this instead

Catch clippings on a towel or paper and place them in the trash.

03

Already did it?

Do not send more solids after it. If the fixture slows, rises or gurgles, stop using it and contact a plumber.
