Blocked Drains Lincoln

Are you tired of dealing with a smelly drain in your Lincolnshire home? Whether it's in your kitchen or bathroom, a foul-smelling drain can be a nuisance and a health hazard. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we've put together a step-by-step guide on how to clean a smelly drain and prevent future occurrences.

Before we dive into the cleaning process, it's essential to understand what causes smelly drains. The most common culprits include:

• Grease and food particles accumulating in the drain
• Hair and soap scum buildup
• Dry P-traps
• Clogged drains
• Sewer line issues

1. Identify the Source of the Smell: Determine which drain is causing the smell. Is it your kitchen sink or bathroom drain? This will help you focus your cleaning efforts.
2. Use Baking Soda and Vinegar: Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of vinegar. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight. The acid in the vinegar will help break down any grease and debris.
3. Use Hot Water: Pour hot water down the drain to rinse away any remaining debris.
4. Use a Drain Snake: If the smell persists, use a drain snake to remove any hair or debris that may be clogging the drain.
5. Use a Natural Drain Cleaner: If you prefer a more natural approach, try using a drain cleaner made from natural ingredients like baking soda, vinegar, and lemon juice.
6. Check Your P-traps: Make sure your P-traps are filled with water. Dry P-traps can cause sewer gases to rise into your home, resulting in a smelly drain.
7. Consider Professional Drain Cleaning: If the smell persists after trying the above steps, it may be time to call a professional drain cleaning service like Blocked Drains Lincoln.

• Run hot water through your drains regularly to clear any debris
