01

Why the pipe objects

Oil-based and creamy dressings carry fats that can coat plumbing and bind with other debris.

02

Do this instead

Use it up or seal the unwanted dressing in a container for the trash.

03

Already did it?

Do not chase it with boiling water or chemical drain cleaner. If drainage changes, stop using the fixture and contact a plumber.
