Over time, have you noticed that the water flows less well when you take a shower, and even worse, bad odors come from the drain? We have the solution so that this is no longer a problem.
Over time and repeated showers, the drain can become dirty or even clogged, for several reasons. We immediately think of hair, which is often the main culprit. Over time, hair falls out and gets stuck in the drain, forming a blockage that can obstruct the passage of water. In addition to hair, soap residue, shampoo residue, hair or even dead skin cells can also accumulate, helping to reduce water flow or completely block the drain.
In order to avoid these inconveniences, which can lead to the release of bad odors, it is advisable to clean the drain regularly, but also to use grids or filters to capture debris before it reaches the pipes. . Here’s how to do it. Start by removing the metal part, being careful not to cut yourself, then the plastic tank, located just below.
First step of cleaning, and not the least: remove all stuck hair. You can do it with bare hands, for the more adventurous, or with gloves. Then spray everything with anti-limescale product, a few sprays are enough, or soak in a container filled with white vinegar. And now the star of this household tutorial comes into play, I have named it: the toothbrush. So, not the one you use daily, no, but rather an old toothbrush with bristles (not too far apart) which you only use to scrub the joints and with which you will be able to work wonders on your shower drain .
Thanks to its head with bristles, it will help you find a shower drain like new with almost no effort. All you have to do is rub a little then rinse with clean water and that’s it! Don’t forget to put the tank back in the hole then the metal grid. Have a nice shower!
