]]> That area under the kitchen sink is super useful for storing all sorts of household items such as cleaning products, sponges, or towels. But keep in mind that your kitchen sink can easily leak, so here are some items that you shouldn’t store under the sink.

Pet Food

Things can easily get wet and moldy if the kitchen sink happens to leak, and that’s why keeping pet food or treats there is not a very good idea. Pet food should be kept in airtight containers, in dry and dark places, so it’s best to keep it far from a kitchen sink.

Electronics

Most people lack storage space in the kitchen, especially for bulky kitchen appliances such as air fryers or blenders. Avoid storing these electronic devices under the kitchen sink, because they can easily get damaged there.

Harsh Chemicals

Storing dish soap under the sink is fine, but any harsh chemicals such as bleach are pretty dangerous for pets and kids, and should be kept out of their reach.

Tools

Even though it’s convenient to keep your toolbox on hand, storing your tools under the kitchen sink might also be risky. Tools can easily get rusty when stored in dry or humid places so it’s best to keep them someplace dry.

]]> Your kitchen sink might seem like an appropriate place to dispose of all kinds of waste, but that isn’t necessarily the case. While sinks, along with garbage disposals, offer a good alternative for taking care of certain things, there are some commonly-used kitchen items that cause big problems for your plumbing and the environment if they end up here.

Be sure to dispose of these kitchen items in a place that isn’t your sink or garbage disposal.

Coffee Grounds

Coffee grounds should never go into your kitchen’s drain, as they can easily coagulate and cause a blockage that can be extremely problematic. Try composting them if you aren’t going to throw them into your garbage bin, as they are a fantastic addition to your compost pile.

Cooking Oil

Cooking oil that is left over after preparing meals should never be put into the kitchen sink. Not only can it cause clogs, but it can also have a terrible effect on the environment if it finds its way into local waterways.

Flour

Have you ever made dough before? If so, you will probably understand why flour shouldn’t be put into your kitchen sink drain. The water which will combine with flour in the drain can cause a blockage-causing mass of mutant “dough” to form.
