4 Ways to Maintain Healthy Drains
After a household’s drains are cleaned it is important to take measures to keep them that way. Here are four simple ways to prolong the cleanliness of drains:
- Keep a drain trap in your bathtub and bathroom sink
This will catch hair and soap scum. Simply clean the trap out after each shower. - Use a drain trap for your kitchen sink
This will prevent forks, bottle caps, and other non-food particles from going down your garbage disposal. - Use your garbage disposal religiously
