Blocked Drains York

Are you tired of dealing with a smelly drain in your shower? A foul odor emanating from your shower drain can be unpleasant and embarrassing, especially when you have guests visiting. At Blocked Drains York, we understand the importance of maintaining a clean and hygienic shower area. In this article, we will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to clean a smelly drain in your shower.

Before we dive into the cleaning process, it's essential to identify the cause of the smell. A smelly drain is often a sign of a blockage within the pipe. Hair, soap scum, and other debris can accumulate and cause a blockage, leading to a foul odor. To clean the drain effectively, you need to address the underlying issue.

To clean a smelly drain in your shower, you will need the following materials:

• Baking soda
• Vinegar
• Hot water
• A drain snake or plunger (optional)
  Here's a simple and effective method to clean your smelly drain:

1. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain.
2. Follow with 1 cup of vinegar. The mixture will fizz and foam, helping to break down any blockages.
3. Let the mixture sit in the drain for 30 minutes to an hour. This will allow the baking soda and vinegar to work their magic.
4. Pour hot water down the drain to rinse away the mixture and any debris.
5. If the smell persists, you may need to use a drain snake or plunger to remove any remaining blockages.

To prevent future blockages and smelly drains, consider the following tips:

• Regularly clean your shower drain with baking soda and vinegar.
• Use a drain screen or filter to catch hair and other debris before they go down the drain.
• Avoid pouring grease, oil, or other substances down the drain that can cause blockages.
