Food particles can clog your pipes, especially eggshells which love to hook up with other waste. Plumbers say nothing causes more problems than coffee grounds and grease. Even tiny produce stickers can get stuck on wastewater treatment plant pumps and hoses. This is why it is important to have a large stainless-steel kitchen sink plug to catch the wastes before it goes down your drain. This sink stopper with stainless steel basket waste is ideal for use with your fireclay sink.
