Pipe up and start loving your drainage - study reveals the nation’s worst drainage hotspots
With there being so many misconceptions about which items are acceptable to put down your drain, you’re not alone in thinking it’s fine to flush the odd ‘flushable’ wipe, or pour the leftover fat from your roasting tray down the sink.
However, the latest study from drainage specialist, Lanes Group, hopes to bust some common myths about what’s suitable to put down our drains - with their advice being, if it’s not one of the three P’s (toilet paper, pee or poo) or water, then it shouldn’t be going near your loo or plughole.
The study of 1,101 UK adults, looked to highlight the nation’s bad flushing habits, and the worst cities for them. Overall, Birmingham came out as the worst, with a shocking 87% flushing items deemed unsuitable for drainage systems.
