    Friends,
    I'm having doubts, if I can use besan or green gram Dal powder for bath-. Will it clog the drainage ( I live in apt) ?
    My husband says not use it might clog the drainage system.
    Pls let me know, if anyone has used nalangu Mavu, besan or green gram Dal for bathing.

    Hi Vedhavalli,

    In my experience, you can use either or both mixed well together. It won't clog the drainage.
    I'd advise you to mix it with buttermilk (not salted)/ rose water/ coconut water or normal water. If you mix it with curd, there are chances that the drainage might get oily and clogged.

    Drain will have bacteria pakoda and hair bhajiya :yum:.
    I suspect it will clog the drain, so I would be very careful.

    I haven’t experienced any clogging with green gram-besan flour bath powder. I soak the green gram overnight and grind into a very smooth paste before using it as a soap.Usually people experiencing hair loss during bathing will find the drainage clogged with hair.

    If you're worried about the drains getting clogged, use drain cleaners with enzymes or bacteria. They gobble up organic gunk like besan and keep your drains flowing. :thumbsup:
