Unclogging a drain in your bathroom is not fun and can be, at times, incredibly difficult. The biggest culprit in clogging bathroom drains is hair. If you can find a way to keep hair out of your drains you will have a better chance at a clog free drain. Orsack Plumbing Company is here to share some tips and tools that every bathroom should be equipped with to help the drains stay clog free.
Invest in a Water Drop Hair Catcher Drain Strain
Most people have a water stopper in their bathroom sink to help them plug the sink when needed. You may think that because your sink is equipped with this stopper, you don’t have any way to catch the hair in your sink before it gets washed down the drain. We are here to tell you that there is a contraption called the water drop hair catcher and it works marvelously on bathroom drains. The suction cup surrounding the center of the drain stopper will catch any hair and is easy to remove and get rid of the debris it catches from your sink.
Beard Mats to Catch All That Hair
Many men find themselves shaving their faces daily. Think about all of that hair that is falling into the sink and getting rinsed out and down the drain every day. This is where a beard mat comes into play. It drapes over a good portion of the counter and the entire sink to keep those short hairs from falling down the drain. Once you are finished the material can be shaken off anywhere, but preferably outside.
Don’t Forget a Shower Drain Catcher
A major place where hair clogs the drain is in the shower. This can especially ring true for females. Placing a drain catcher over your shower drain will keep all the loose hair you lose when shampooing, out of the drain. Not only will it keep the loose hair out of the drain, but any other debris that you might lose in the drain as well.
Home Remedies to Clear Drains
If you don’t have any of the tools mentioned above to keep your drains free of clogs, there are several household items that can be used instead. For instance, placing a washcloth over the top of a drain can keep unwanted hair from going down the drain as well as a used dryer sheet. Anything that will allow water to pass through it but act as a strainer will work wonders to keep your drains clear.
Brush Hair Before Showering
An important thing to remember when it comes to keeping drains free from clogs is the power of a hair brush. When you brush your hair before you bathe or shower, you get rid of a lot of the loose hair that falls out while shampooing.
