Blocked Drains Edinburgh

Are you tired of dealing with a clogged shower drain in your East Lothian home? Do you want to ensure your bathroom remains clean and hygienic? Deep cleaning your shower drain is a simple and effective way to remove blockages and prevent future clogs. In this article, we'll show you how to deep clean your shower drain using common household items.

Your shower drain is prone to clogging due to the accumulation of hair, soap scum, and other debris. If left unattended, these blockages can cause water to back up into your shower, leading to a messy and unhygienic bathroom. Regular deep cleaning can help prevent these issues and keep your plumbing system running smoothly.

• Baking soda
• White vinegar
• Hot water
• A drain snake or plumbing auger (optional)

Before you start deep cleaning your shower drain, remove any large debris such as hair or soap scum that may be visible. Use a drain snake or plumbing auger to remove any stubborn blockages.

Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the shower drain. Baking soda is a natural cleaner and will help break down any tough blockages.

Pour 1 cup of white vinegar down the shower drain. The acid in the vinegar will react with the baking soda to create a fizzing action that will help break down any blockages.

Let the mixture sit in the drain for 2-3 hours or overnight. This will allow the baking soda and vinegar to work their magic and break down any tough blockages.

After the mixture has sat in the drain for the desired amount of time, rinse the drain with hot water to remove any remaining debris.

• To prevent future clogs, consider using a drain screen or filter to catch hair and other debris before they go down the drain.
• If you have a particularly stubborn blockage, you may need to use a plumbing auger or call a professional plumber to help clear the blockage.
• Regular deep cleaning can help prevent clogs and keep your plumbing system running smoothly.
