Taco Tuesday has become a cherished tradition in Texas households, but your plumbing system may not share the excitement. That’s why Wicker Plumbing introduces “Toilet Tuesday” – tips to keep your plumbing in top shape while you enjoy your weekly taco indulgence.
Why Combine Tacos and Toilets?
Let’s face it – what goes in must come out! But the prep and cleanup for Taco Tuesday can take a toll on your plumbing. Here’s what to watch out for:
Kitchen Sink Concerns
- 🚫 Never pour cooking grease (from ground beef or chorizo) down the drain.
- 🥬 Avoid food scraps like lettuce, tomatoes, and corn shells in the garbage disposal.
- ✅ Use sink strainers to catch food particles.
Bathroom Preparedness
- 🚽 Only flush toilet paper – not those napkins from your taco feast.
- 🛠 Keep a plunger nearby – better safe than sorry!
- 💧 Upgrade to a high-efficiency toilet to handle extra usage.
