Are you experiencing issues with your washing machine drain in East Lothian? If so, you're not alone. A blocked washing machine drain can be a frustrating and messy problem to deal with. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, we're here to help you resolve the issue quickly and efficiently.

Before we dive into the steps to unblock your washing machine drain, it's essential to understand what might be causing the problem. Some common causes of a blocked washing machine drain include:

• Lint and debris from clothing
• Detergent residue
• Hair and soap scum
• Mineral buildup from hard water

If you're experiencing issues with your washing machine drain in Roslin or throughout East Lothian, follow these steps to try and clear the blockage:

1. Turn off the power: Before you start, make sure to switch off the washing machine and unplug it from the power source.
2. Check the drain hose: Inspect the drain hose for any kinks or blockages. Straighten out any kinks and check for any blockages.
3. Use a drain snake: If the blockage is further down the drain, you may need to use a drain snake to clear it. Feed the snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.
4. Use baking soda and vinegar: Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of vinegar. Let the mixture sit for a few hours before rinsing with hot water.
5. Use a plunger: If the blockage is closer to the surface, you can try using a plunger to clear it. Place the plunger over the drain and push down slowly and steadily.
