Bathroom sink P-traps need to be kept clean to prevent clogging and other plumbing issues that can arise as a result
of leaving them to collect gunk such as hair, toothpaste, soap, facial cleaner, gels and/or shaving creme.
Keeping the P-traps clean is an easy task that any homeowner can do without help from a plumbing professional.
By adhering to a sink trap cleaning roune, you’ll be able to prevent against unnecessary clogs in your bathroom.
Five Tips for Keeping Bathroom Sink P-Traps Clean
• Refrain from sending hair, gels, toothpaste and other thick substances down the drain.
• Avoid using harmful, store-bought drain cleaning agents as they can not only harm your pipes but also
the environment.
• Li your drain or unscrew the head and check for debris, emptying any drain-damaging materials into the trash.
• Be sure to run water through your pipes at least once per week, especially in infrequently used areas of the home.
This will help prevent against sewer smells and keep your drains clean.
• Use all-natural drain cleaning products on a regular basis. The natural organic bacteria will eat away sludge and
waste that hides in your drain’s lining. Pour it down the drain weekly or monthly to keep debris build-up at bay.
With these ve ps, you’ll be able to keep your sink’s P-trap clean and clear of unwanted debris so you can avoid a
drain clog from interrupng your daily life.
