Blocked Drains Lincoln

Are you tired of dealing with a clogged shower tray drain in your Lincolnshire bathroom? Cleaning your shower tray drain regularly can help prevent blockages and keep your bathroom smelling fresh. In this article, we'll provide a step-by-step guide on how to clean your shower tray drain using simple and effective methods.

Your shower tray drain can become clogged with soap scum, hair, and other debris, causing water to accumulate in the tray. This can lead to mould and mildew growth, creating an unpleasant odour in your bathroom. Regular cleaning can help prevent these issues and keep your bathroom hygienic.

Start by removing any visible debris and hair from the shower tray drain. Use a cloth or a small brush to gently sweep away any blockages.

Create a cleaning solution by mixing equal parts of white vinegar and water. The acid in the vinegar will help break down any tough blockages and soap scum.

Pour the cleaning solution down the drain and let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour. This will allow the solution to penetrate and break down any blockages.

For tougher blockages, sprinkle some baking soda down the drain. The abrasive nature of the baking soda will help break down any stubborn blockages.

After the solution has sat for the desired amount of time, rinse the drain with hot water. This will help flush out any remaining debris and soap scum.

If you have a particularly stubborn blockage, you may need to use a drain cleaning product. These products can be found at most hardware stores and can be used to dissolve tough blockages.

Finally, dry the shower tray with a clean cloth to prevent water spots and mineral deposits.

• For resin or stone shower trays, use a gentle cleaning solution to avoid damaging the surface.
• Regularly cleaning your shower tray drain can help prevent mould and mildew growth.
• If you have a shower cubicle, make sure to clean the drain regularly to prevent water from accumulating and causing damage.

Cleaning your shower tray drain is a simple and effective way to prevent blockages and keep your bathroom hygienic.
