STRANGE SINK DISCOVERY

Found deep in the drain of a clogged sink in the RO yesterday were a plastic knife, a drinking straw and paper towels!?  Needless to say, these are not items that generally are found to dwell within the drain of a sink. While this is most likely a strange anomaly never to happen again, let’s do our best to make sure that’s the case. Thanks!
