Don't pour it, store it

Don't pour fats, oils, and grease down your drain or in your toilet.  This can block the main sewer lines and lines connecting your home to the sewer.  You should store fats and grease in a disposable container and when full throw it out with the trash.  Myth:  you can't chase it with hot water or use soap to prevent clogging.  The only thing that works is not to do it at all.

Newsflash

Front-loading washers use airtight seals to prevent water from leaking while the machine is in use. When the machine is not in use, this seal can trap moisture in the machine and lead to mold. Leave the door open for an hour or two after use to allow moisture to evaporate. CAUTION: Make sure children and pets do not climb into the machine while the door is open.
