Slow drains are caused by a clogged drain. A clogged toilet or a blocked kitchen sink could be the cause. However, shower drains slow down when they collect hair, lint, and residue from bath products. Bathroom sink clogs are also a problem. All that toothpaste!
5 Ways to Unclog Your Shower Drain
These are some ways to get rid of or dissolve a clog.
You can remove the clog manually. Sometimes a clog can be seen immediately near the surface and is easily accessible. Use rubber gloves to remove the clog. You can use small, plastic hooks for this purpose. It might seem tempting to use a wire coat hook here, but this can cause damage to your drain.
Boil some water. If the drain is clear and there are no obstructions, then boiling water may be used to dissolve any soap scum. You can repeat the process up to three more times.
Use a natural drain cleaner. Conventional drain cleaners such as Drano are not as effective as they claim and contain harmful chemicals. For light clogs, natural homemade cleaners are just as effective as chemical ones. Combine 1 cup vinegar (distilled white vinegar is the best) with 1 cup baking soda. To loosen the vinegar, first, pour boiling water down the drain. Next, add the baking soda-vinegar mix and wait for 15 minutes. Rinse with more boiling water.
Get in touch with a plumber. If none of the above has affected the speed of your drain, you should call a professional.This post was written by Joey Denick.
