Is your shower drain emitting a foul smell that's making your bathroom unbearable? Don't worry, we've got you covered. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we've seen our fair share of stinky shower drains in Lincolnshire, and we're here to share some tips on how to clean and eliminate the odour.

Before we dive into the cleaning process, it's essential to understand what causes a smelly shower drain. The most common culprits are:

• Hair and soap scum buildup in the drain
• Grease and oil accumulation in the pipes
• Dry P-trap or a malfunctioning septic tank
• Bacterial growth in the drain

To clean a stinky shower drain, you'll need the following materials:

• Baking soda
• Vinegar
• Hot water
• Bleach (optional)
• A drain snake or plumber's auger
  Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain: This will help break down any hair and soap scum buildup.
2. Follow with 1 cup of vinegar: The acid in the vinegar will help dissolve any grease and oil accumulation.
3. Let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour: Allow the mixture to work its magic and break down any blockages.
4. Pour hot water down the drain: This will help rinse away any remaining debris and baking soda mixture.
5. Use a drain snake or plumber's auger: If the smell persists, use a drain snake or plumber's auger to remove any remaining blockages.
6. Optional: Pour 1 cup of bleach down the drain: If the smell is particularly strong, you can use bleach to kill any bacteria growth. However, be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and take necessary safety precautions.

To prevent future odours, make sure to:

• Regularly clean your shower drain with baking soda and vinegar
• Use a drain screen or filter to catch hair and soap scum
• Run hot water through the drain after each use
• Consider using a natural drain cleaner or maintenance product
