The Main Topic: How Often to Clean Your Drains

Drains are an essential part of our plumbing system, responsible for carrying wastewater and sewage away from homes and businesses. However, many of us don't think twice about how often we clean them. But neglecting to do so can lead to a range of problems, including clogs, backups, and even health hazards.

So, how often should you clean your drains? The answer depends on various factors, such as usage, flow rate, and water hardness. As a general rule, it's recommended to clean your drains at least once a week, or more frequently if you live in an area with high water usage or heavy sewage pressure.

• For light household use, cleaning the drains every 1-2 weeks may be sufficient.
• For households with multiple users or those located near a septic system, consider cleaning them daily or every other day.
• For areas with high water pressure, such as in commercial buildings or large households, more frequent cleaning may be necessary (every 1-3 days).
