Blocked Drains Edinburgh

Are you tired of dealing with a clogged shower drain in your East Lothian home? Hair is a common culprit when it comes to blocked drains, and it can be frustrating to deal with. In this article, we'll provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to clean out a shower drain with hair.

Hair can accumulate in your shower drain over time, causing water to back up and creating a mess. This is often due to the natural oils in hair, which can bind to the sides of the drain and cause blockages. To prevent this from happening, it's essential to clean your shower drain regularly.

One of the most effective ways to clean a shower drain with hair is to use a combination of baking soda and vinegar. Here's how:

1. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain.
2. Follow with 1 cup of vinegar.
3. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight.
4. Pour hot water down the drain to rinse.
   The baking soda and vinegar will help break down the hair and other debris, allowing water to flow freely.

If the above method doesn't work, you can try using a chemical drain cleaner. However, be sure to follow the instructions carefully and take necessary safety precautions.

1. Pour the recommended amount of chemical drain cleaner down the drain.
2. Let it sit for the recommended amount of time.
3. Pour hot water down the drain to rinse.

If the above methods don't work, you can try using a plunger or plumbing snake to remove the blockage.

1. Use a plunger to create suction and try to dislodge the hair.
2. If the plunger doesn't work, try using a plumbing snake to remove the blockage.

To prevent future blockages, it's essential to clean your shower drain regularly. Here are a few tips:

• Use a drain screen to catch hair and other debris before they go down the drain.
• Run hot water through the drain on a regular basis to help clear any blockages.
• Consider using a natural drain cleaner, such as baking soda and vinegar, on a regular basis.
