Water Help Prevent Grease Buildup?”
This is one of the biggest myths when it comes to kitchen sink maintenance.
Yes, hot water seems like it’s washing away cooking oil and food grease—but here’s the catch: it doesn’t break down grease. Instead, it melts it just long enough for it to move deeper into your plumbing, where it cools and solidifies again—further down, out of reach.
Over time, these greasy buildups can create serious blockages, resulting in slow drains, foul odors, and even pipe clogs that require professional help.
