If you use hot water, grease remains a liquid, then cools and solidifies in the sewer line. Allow the water to

run a minimum of 15 seconds after shutting off the disposal.

Clogged traps can usually be cleared with a plumber's helper (plunger). If you use chemical agents, follow

directions carefully to avoid injury or damage to the fixtures or personal injury.

Clean a plunger drain stopper, usually found in bathroom sinks, by loosening the nut under the sink at the

back, pull out the rod attached to the plunger and lift the stopper out. Clean and return the mechanism to its

original position.

Fixtures

Polished brass and other special finishes plumbing fixtures are susceptible to damage and staining if water is

permitted to stand on the surfaces and by the use of an abrasive cleansing product. Most of the plumbing

fixtures in your new home are plated with polished brass, bright chromium, or other finishes that are resistant

to water corrosion. The plating materials forming these finishes are, however, relatively soft, and can be

damaged with abrasive cleansers, scouring pads and tools or intense sunlight. Clean the fixtures with warm

soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse with clear water and wipe dry to prevent spotting and soap

buildup.

If water is permitted to accumulate and stand at the base of the fixtures, corrosion and tarnishing can result.

Always wipe the area dry.

Hard water can spot and damage bright chromed plumbing fixtures. While this is not entirely preventable,

you can minimize the staining and discoloration by drying the fixtures after each use.

Avoid using excessive force when you turn your faucets on and off. The seals in the faucets can be damaged

by such abuse in a short time.

Faucets that are equipped with aerators will mix air with the stream of water to prevent splashing. They need

to be cleaned occasionally to remove a buildup of mineral deposits. When you notice that the stream of

water has lessened, unscrew the aerator from the mouth of the faucet. Remove the debris and rinse the

washers and screens. Replace the parts in their original order and screw the aerator onto the faucet. Perform

this homeowner maintenance as needed, usually every few months.

Sinks

Regular cleaning is important to maintain the appearance of your sink. Clean sinks with a soft cloth, mild

detergent and water. Rinse and dry properly to eliminate any film build up.

Toilets

Most toilets are made of vitreous china, a glasslike material that is highly resistant to staining. Clean your

toilets with a toilet bowl cleaner and a brush or cloth. Vitreous china is brittle and will easily break or shatter if

hit with a hard object.
