Blocked Drains Edinburgh

As a homeowner in East Lothian, you may have encountered the frustrating issue of a clogged shower drain. Hair, soap scum, and other debris can accumulate and cause a blockage, leading to slow draining water and unpleasant odors. However, before calling a professional plumbing service, you can try a simple and cost-effective solution: cleaning your shower drain with baking soda.

Baking soda is a natural and non-toxic cleaning agent that can effectively break down and dissolve grease, hair, and other substances that clog your shower drain. When combined with hot water and vinegar, baking soda can help to:

• Unclog and clean your shower drain
• Remove soap scum and mildew
• Eliminate unpleasant odors
• Prevent future clogs and blockages

To clean your shower drain with baking soda, follow these simple steps:

1. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain.
2. Follow with 1 cup of hot water to help the baking soda dissolve and penetrate the clog.
3. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes to an hour to allow the baking soda to work its magic.
4. Pour 1 cup of vinegar down the drain to help break down and dissolve any remaining debris.
5. Let the mixture sit for another 30 minutes to an hour.
6. Pour hot water down the drain to rinse and clean the drain.

• To avoid clogs and blockages, clean your shower drain regularly with baking soda and vinegar.
• For tougher clogs, you may need to repeat the process several times before the drain is fully clean.
• If you have a severe blockage or if the baking soda and vinegar solution does not work, you may need to call a professional plumbing service to unclog your shower drain.
• To prevent clogs and blockages, consider installing a drain screen or filter to catch hair and other debris before they enter the drain.
