Clogged Drains?
No Problem!
Clogged drains can be a common issue in your home. Here are a few simple solutions to help you tackle this problem:
01
Bent Wire Hanger:
If your shower drain is filling up due to hair and soap scum, straighten out a metal wire coat hanger and use the bent end to grab and clear the clog.
02
Hair Snare:
Invest in a bath and sink hair snare with sharp teeth to catch and prevent surface clogs caused by hair and soap residue.
03
Baking Soda and Vinegar:
This classic combo can help unclog drains. Pour about five tablespoons of baking soda down the drain, followed by vinegar. Wait for a while, then flush with warm water.
04
Wet Vacuum:
If you have a wet vacuum, create a seal around the drain opening with the plunger head and use the vacuum to remove the blockage.
*Remember to cover the exhaust opening with a cloth to avoid a mess.
