Blocked Drains Edinburgh

As a homeowner or business owner in East Lothian, you may have encountered the frustration of a clogged drain. A drain snake, also known as an auger, is a useful tool for clearing blockages in your drainage system. However, after use, it's essential to clean the drain snake to maintain its effectiveness and prevent the spread of bacteria. In this article, we'll provide a step-by-step guide on how to clean a drain snake in East Lothian.

A dirty drain snake can harbor bacteria, dirt, and debris, which can be transferred to other drains and pipes, causing further blockages and problems. Regular cleaning of your drain snake ensures it remains in good working condition, allowing you to tackle drainage issues efficiently.

1. Remove any visible debris: Use a cloth or brush to remove any visible dirt, hair, or other debris from the drain snake.
2. Soak the snake: Submerge the drain snake in a bucket of warm soapy water for several hours or overnight. This will help loosen any stubborn dirt or grime.
3. Use a cleaning solution: Mix a solution of equal parts water and white vinegar or a commercial drain cleaner. Pour the solution into the bucket with the drain snake and let it soak for several hours.
4. Rinse thoroughly: Remove the drain snake from the bucket and rinse it with warm water to remove any remaining dirt or cleaning solution.
5. Dry the snake: Use a clean towel to dry the drain snake, paying extra attention to the auger end.
