It seems Lindsay Lohan cannot flush everything down these days. She caused plenty of drama at the site of the Scary Movie 5 shooting that included taking off with the wardrobe, complaining a lot about the movie script and insisting on going to the movie set in a private plane. In addition to all that, the fall shooting had more Lindsay-linked drama to deal with. She apparently caused more drama and accomplished the amazing feat of closing down all the bathrooms on the set for almost two days.

So how did she manage to do that? Lindsay clogged a toilet located in her trailer and since the other trailer toilets ran on a similar connected system, the other toilets stopped working. As a result, no one in the trailers could use their bathrooms. The mess took at least 1 day (a day and a half) to clear and clean it up. The movie production was behind schedule and Lindsay did not make any fans out of the movie’s crew or her co-stars. Poor Lindsay!

You may have a lot to put in and made of various materials such as plastics, metals, paper and other items to be disposed of but these items should never go into the garbage disposal. Use it as you should. If it’s full, look for a temporary alternative. Remember to cut any large pieces into smaller pieces before you dispose of them.

• Avoid Celery, Glass, Bones and Rubber

Do not put in items that will cause damage to the blades of the garbage disposal and interfere with its operation. Sorting and informing people who may also use your kitchen during this time is a good idea

• Run it Frequently

To keep your disposal working at top efficiency, use it correctly. Before putting any food in, begin by running cold water first and then put the food in. Continue running the water for a few moments after all the food has been washed down the drain. Running it will help to keep the blades of the garbage disposal from rusting and make sure that all the food has been flushed into the drainage system.

If you hear noises and sounds you cannot quite explain, call a plumber company to deal with it. Address the strange noises right away to avoid larger problems that will take longer to solve. Plungers should be on hand just in case your sink, toilet or tub clogs. Ensure you know where the shutoff valve is as you may want to turn the water off if there is an emergency. You should also know where the shutoff valve is so that you can show the plumber if necessary.
