Ah, the dishwasher - it can be your best friend or worst nightmare. We all know the dishwasher can be a huge time saver, especially when cooking a big dinner or entertaining during the holiday season. However, tossing just any item in your dishwasher can cause you a headache, time, and a lot of money if you aren't mindful about what you're putting in.

Below is a list of a few items that should never see the inside of your dishwasher!

Cast Iron and Enameled Pots and Pans: Although many labels on these pots and pans may say 'dishwasher safe', after several washes the enamel will dull and chips can occur. (This includes cast iron colanders, as well!)

Fancy Knives: Good chefs knives aren't cheap, so please, keep them out of our dishwasher! The hot temperature of the water can warp and damage the metal.

Cast-Iron Pans or Skillets: Cast-iron products are usually finished with an oil that prevents the iron from rusting over time. Placing your cast-iron pan collection in your machine will cause the special oil  to wash away after time.

Insulated Travel Mugs and Cups: As much as insulated travel mugs come in hand when you're on the go, you will be sorry if you put them in your dishwasher even if they're labeled dishwasher safe. Many of these cups have a space between layers that water can get trapped in, causing a nasty odor that can make your coffee taste bitter.

Cutting Boards: The hot water in your machine can cause various types of cutting boards to warp and crack. This is another item that should be added to your "wash by hand" collection!

Should any of these items cause your dishwasher any trouble, you can always call on your friends here at Mitch Wright Plumbing Heating and Air to come over and check it out twenty four hours a day, seven days a week! If you have any questions about your dishwasher, give us a call! We'd be happy to help. To learn more about us, visit www.mitchwrightair.com.

How To Avoid Holiday Plumbing Issues

"The Right Prescription for Comfort" 

As you're putting the final touches on your dinner menu, guest list, and last minute gifts for your upcoming holiday party, we're sure the last thing on your mind is your plumbing system. However, a clogged sink or toilet is the last thing you need to worry about while entertaining a house full of people.

To avoid a holiday plumbing nightmare like this, check out what you should keep in mind during your holiday entertaining below.

Keep toys away from the toilet. We know this may sound crazy, however, it's not uncommon for small toys to be accidentally flushed down the toilet or dropped in the garbage disposal. Beware of the little ones on the lose with small toys and try to keep them away from your plumbing systems.

Scrape Dishes Well. Holiday dinners are usually extravagant and plates are filled to the max. When your guest are done eating, be sure to scrape off plates as best as possible to avoid food from clogging the drain when dishes are being rinsed.

Prepare. If you notice in the next few days that your kitchen sink isn't draining properly, or your toilet isn't flushing efficiently, be proactive and call your plumber now! Taking these measures before you have guests over can save you a huge headache on the day of your party.

On behalf of all of us here at Mitch Wright Plumbing Heating and Air, we hope you have a wonderful holiday season. If you find yourself in the face of a plumbing nightmare at your holiday party, don't worry, your friends at Mitch Wright are always here to help! We can be reached at anytime by calling (662) 349-3547.

"The Right Prescription for Comfort" 

Plumbers get calls everyday to repair everything from drain back ups to a pipe springing a leak, but they even get calls to fix issues that are easily avoidable. Below are a few things you shouldn't do to avoid having the plumber on speed dial.

Treating the garbage disposal like a trash can. This is one of the most popular incidents that plumbers get called over for. Items such as bones, rinds and grease should be kept out of your disposal. For a complete list of garbage disposal dont's, click here.

Flushing hosehold items down the toilet. This is another common problem that the handy dandy plumber gets calls for. Items such as tweezers and small toys should never be flushed down the toilet (no matter how small). This causes them to get trapped or forced down the sewer line which can cause even bigger problems.

Cranking on a faucet handle. This is something we are all guilty of! When the sink or shower continues to drip once it's been turned off, it is in our nature to push or pull it really hard to try and get it to stop. Pressing to hard on the handle can cause it to break without solving the drip!

Plumbing issues happen, no matter how hard we try to avoid them. If you have a plumbing issue in your home, we encourage you to contact Mitch Wright Plumbing, Heating and Air. One of our friendly professionals will be over in no time to get the issue fixed for you! To learn more, visit www.mitchwrightair.com.

How To Handle a Plumbing Emergency

"The Right Prescription for Comfort" 

Although no type of emergency is a good one, plumbing emergencies can be stressful and troublesome. Whether you come home to find a toilet that's overflowed or a pipe that burst, there are a few steps you can take right away before calling Mitch Wright Plumbing to come to your rescue!

Turn off the water
The number one most important thing you should know about your plumbing system is where to shut off the water. The main valve is usually located in the basement of your home or outside.

Turn off individual appliance valves
In the case of an emergency, the most ideal thing to do would be to turn off the water supply to pipe/appliance that caused the emergency. Each fixture in your home should have it's one shutoff valve. Try to familiarize yourself with where the valves are located before a plumbing nightmare arises.

Remove electronics or other valuables
Try and salvage as many items as you can as quickly as possible, especially electronics. Move them to a dry area and pat them down with a towel or cloth. If a carpet or floor was affected by the emergency, let them air dry and see how they're holding up a day or two later. They may need to be discarded or replaced depending on how much water they were exposed to.

Clean up the mess
Once you've got the emergency under control, try and keep the area clean and contained to just one room. Soak up the water using towels or old sheets.

Call Mitch Wright 
Ah, save the best for last! No matter what type of plumbing emergency you have on your hands, it's important to call us as soon as possible. You may have things under control, but it's likely that things will need to be checked out by a professional to make sure matters don't get worse.
