A vegan diet is good to keep your body’s inner drainage system working well! Today I’d like to offer a home care tip to keep your kitchen drain fresh and clean too. Pouring boiling water down the drain may seem like an easy way to remove grease, but it can cause problems. While it may melt grease temporarily, the grease can re-solidify farther down the pipe and create blockages. Boiling water can also damage pipes, joints, and plastic seals, especially during colder weather. Experts recommend using heated water between 50°C and 60°C instead. To help keep your kitchen drain fresh and free of grease buildup, pour ½ cup baking soda down the drain, followed by ½ cup white vinegar. Let it fizz for 15–30 minutes, then flush with 50–60°C water. Repeating this simple routine once a month can help reduce odors and keep your drain flowing smoothly.

“How many did you get through?”
“I created three folders.”
“Nice. And the emails?”
“Still emotionally processing them.”
