Do you want to avoid spending money on a simple issue you can fix? We have some safe and easy tips for you on how to prevent sink and bathtub clogs and how to fix them!
Prevent Sink and Bathtub Clogs
- Do not pour oil or large food scraps into the sink. Use a drain strainer to keep those food scraps from going down the drain!
- Use a hair trap for bathroom sinks and tubs! We lose 60 to 100 hairs a day so be sure they are not going down your drain, so you don’t have to deal with a mess later!
- Run warm water after each use. Allow warm water to run down the drain for about 30 seconds! Do not use boiling water… this can be too hot for a drain!
Fixing Sink and Bathtub Clogs:
- Mix baking soda and white vinegar using a 4:1 ratio for a slow drain. 1 part baking soda, 4 parts white vinegar, and then let it sit for a couple of hours for the best results. After a couple of hours, flush it down with hot water!
- A plunger can be a quick solution for fixing clogged sinks. There are plungers designed for clogged bathtub drains, showers, or sinks.
