Keeping your bathroom sink and tub drain clear of hair can be a frustrating task, but it’s an important one to avoid slow-draining water and potential clogs. Here are some tips to keep your drains clear and prevent hair buildup.
Firstly, consider using a drain catcher. This can be a simple mesh screen or a more sophisticated device that fits over your drain and catches hair and other debris. Clean the catcher regularly to prevent it from becoming clogged.
Next, try to minimize the amount of hair that goes down the drain. Brush your hair before you shower or bathe, and try to avoid washing large clumps of hair down the drain. Additionally, use a vinegar and baking soda mixture to dissolve any hair buildup in your drain. Simply pour a cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by a cup of vinegar. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes and then flush the drain with hot water.
Finally, if you have a persistent hair clog, consider using a drain snake or calling a professional plumber to clear the blockage.
