What would the Halloween season be without the rite of
carving pumpkins? The excitement in
planning out the design and the fun of "squeezing out the guts" --so
my sons talked of the process! Even if
your child is squeamish to put his/her hand down into the slimy innards;
children love the pumpkin faces lit up at night signifying another year's
accomplished work of art!
Though you and your children have fond, shared memories of
carving pumpkins—your household plumbing system does not share your fondness of
the tradition. Plumbing calls on clogged
drains and garbage disposals are elevated during the Halloween season. There is a simple remedy to ward of those calls
to the plumber.
The Don'ts:
Don't put pumpkin pulp down your disposal.Don't flush pumpkin pulp down the toilet.
According to Roto-Rooter due to the stringy, sticky
consistency of pumpkin pulp and the fact that when it dries and hardens it can
very likely choke your drainpipes; you really should avoid putting it down your
plumbing system. Even garbage disposals
cannot handle the sticky, stringy mass.
Do put pumpkin pulp in your compost pile!
Do create a compost pile to put your pumpkin pulp in!
Do throw out pumpkin pulp in the trash if composting is not
an option for you.
Keeping Halloween
Naturally Green:
Anytime you can give back to nature, the better. Give nature the nourishment of those
"pumpkin guts." Clean children's hands naturally from the sticky, pumpkin pulp naturally with Baby Harmony Pure & Free Hand Soap. Wash knives and spoons, and the kitchen table
naturally with Brightly Green Hand Dish Wash.
Live, simply green every day and every occasion with the
help of Brightly Green Concentrate Cleaners!
