Mud makes the drainage pipe less attractive to plant roots, as they do not like the smell. This helps prevent roots from entering the pipe system.

Mud can soften hard water due to its high mineral content, such as calcium and magnesium. This helps prevent the build-up of scale on the surface of materials.

Note: Care must be taken when using mud due to its corrosive nature. After spreading the sponge into the drain, flush it thoroughly with water.
