The main reason for a clogged bathroom drain is hair.
ADVICE.NEWS has named 3 methods that will help you easily and effectively prevent such trouble.
3 Rules to Prevent Clogged Drains
Hair Trap
This is a simple and effective way to keep hair out of your shower drain.
The trap does not obstruct the flow of water, but holds the hair thanks to special suction cups and silicone rims.
There are two types of construction: internal and external. In the first case, the device should be installed inside the drain, while the external trap is placed above the drain.
Cleansing
Clean the drain in the bathroom regularly – at least once a month. If the bathroom is used by several people, you will have to do clog prevention more often – 2-3 times a month.
As a preventative measure, use special anti-clogging agents.
Another cleaning method is a plunger.
Checking hygiene products
Some shower gels and scrubs contain large particles that can cause clogs.
These include oatmeal, solid scrubbing particles of cosmetics, so when choosing cosmetics for care, make sure that they do not contain such impurities.
However, such additives are not scary if you have hair traps installed (see point 1).
Proper maintenance of your drain will also eliminate the unpleasant odor that comes from the accumulation of dirt and hair.
You can use 1 cup of baking soda and 1 cup of white vinegar to remove the smell from the drain. First, pour in the baking soda, then pour in the acid, leave for 10 minutes, and rinse with water.
