Original Note:
Table salt (NaCl) is a relatively strong oxidising agent, hence when in the presence of a metal (in particular iron/steel) and water it causes the metal to oxidise/rust. Hence pouring salt down a drain is no recommended due to the damage and danger that it poses. https://www.vedantu.com/question-answer/effect-does-salt-have-on-the-corrosion-of-iron-class-12-chemistry-cbse-60ed1639ce33ce53523b916d https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zwm93j6/revision/5
