As a homeowner in Lincolnshire, maintaining a clean and functioning shower drain is essential for a hygienic and pleasant bathroom experience. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we understand the importance of a well-maintained drainage system, and we're here to guide you on how to clean a square shower drain.

A clogged shower drain can lead to a buildup of soap scum, hair, and other debris, causing unpleasant odors and potentially leading to more severe drainage issues. Regular cleaning can help prevent these problems and ensure your shower drain functions smoothly.

To clean your square shower drain, you'll need the following:

• A drain cleaning tool or plumber's snake
• Baking soda
• Vinegar
• Hot water
• A soft-bristled brush or scrubber
• Optional: a drain cleaning product or EasyClean solution

1. Remove the Grate: Start by removing the grate or cover from your shower drain. This will give you access to the drain pipe.
2. Use a Drain Cleaning Tool: Insert the drain cleaning tool or plumber's snake into the drain pipe and twist it to break up any blockages.
3. Pour 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 to allow it to work its way through the pipe.
4. Hot Water Rinse: After the mixture has sat for the desired amount of time, pour hot water down the drain to rinse it.
5. Scrub the Drain: Use a soft-bristled brush or scrubber to scrub the drain and remove any remaining debris.
6. Reassemble: Once you've finished cleaning the drain, reassemble the grate or cover.

• Don't Use Harsh Chemicals: Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage your pipes and harm the environment.
• Use a Drain Cleaning Product: If you prefer a more convenient cleaning solution, consider using a drain cleaning product or EasyClean solution. These products can help break down blockages and leave your drain smelling fresh.
• Regular Maintenance: To prevent clogs and maintain a clean shower drain, consider cleaning your drain every 1-2 months.
