PRO Tip: Preventing Drain Clogs

💧 PRO TIP: Preventing Drain Clogs

Clogged drains are messy and costly. Prevent problems before they start with these easy habits:

🚫 Keep Debris Out

  • Use strainers in sinks and tubs to catch hair and food scraps.
  • Never pour grease or oil down the drain — it solidifies and causes blockages.

💦 Flush Regularly

  • Run hot water after each use to keep pipes clear.
  • Once a month, flush with baking soda and vinegar followed by hot water.

🛠️ Use Gentle Cleaners

  • Avoid harsh chemical drain cleaners — they can damage pipes.
  • Enzyme-based cleaners are safer for regular maintenance.

🧯 Bonus Tip

  • If a clog does form, use a plunger or drain snake before resorting to chemicals.

👉 Remember: Clogged drains are messy and costly.
