Omelettes are a popular meal, but many people misunderstand how to dispose of eggshells. Some believe that crushing shells prevents clogs, yet this can still cause issues.
When eggshells go down the drain, even tiny fragments can bind with moisture and debris in the pipes. Over time, these pieces accumulate and form larger blockages. Eggshells can also mix with grease and food, creating stubborn clogs that are hard to remove.
The abrasive texture of eggshells can wear on pipes, especially older plumbing, leading to leaks and further damage. Proper disposal of eggshells helps protect your plumbing.
