Answer 1

Don't worry. Squeeze some dish soap down the drain, then turn on the hot water & let it run for a few minutes. It should be fine.

Answer 2

okay if you put just regular oil your fine but if you put cooked oil then you have to boil some water until it gets really, really,reallyhot then pour it in cause sometimes the hot water from your faucet is not hot enough water and while your boiling the water just  add a ltttle  dish soap it works. now for your nat problem try some bleach once a month but before you use bleach maybe you have nats because something is cloged in your pipes so buy some draino first then if you still have nats try the bleach.

Answer 3

vegetable oil by itself should not clog your drain as it does not get solid. Just rinse it out with some good hot water and soap.
