When I'm pretty sure there might be some bits heading down the drain pipe,
I just slightly lift the stopper up and turn it ever so slightly on its'
side. The water is able to drain away while catching any small bits that
don't need to go down the drain. Once the water is gone then I can take
the strainer out and dump the junk in the trash can.
