Let FOG Cool, Put It In Disposable (like cottage cheese) Containers
And Into The Trash Instead
But What About FOG That Can’t Be Separated?
Example: Brewed Coffee. When you discard remaining coffee — a bit of oil ends up in the drains.
For this type of FOG – you can do monthly, drain-maintenance. Though typically marketed for Septic Tank maintenance — RID-X works equally well on sewer pipes. It’s an all-natural, enzyme drain cleaner that breaks down Fats, Oils, & Grease. And, unlike chemical drain cleaners — the enzymes clean the entire surface of the pipe, versus only at the bottom.
All natural RID-X acts only on biological waste — it can’t harm sewer pipes. Unlike chemical drain cleaners, RID-X poses no risk to you during use.

BABY WIPES CLOG TOILETS & SEWER MAIN(S) PIPES
WHY? Because, unlike toilet paper – Baby Wipes don’t break down. Instead, some settle to the bottom of the Sewer Main pipes — and eventually, cause a clog. And, because, every drain in the house drains into the Sewer Main(s) — you can end up with a Whole-House Clog.
Toilet paper is designed to break down in water. As compared, Baby Wipes are made of assorted combinations of; synthetic materials, plastics, or polyester. None of these break down in water.
