How Often Should You Clean Your Drains?

Cleaning your drains is an essential part of maintaining a hygienic and comfortable home. Regularly cleaning your drains can help prevent clogs, reduce odors, and even prevent costly repairs.

Drains are formed when water and waste flow through pipes under the sink or around the toilet. Over time, these fluids can become stagnant, causing buildup and potentially leading to clogged drains. To avoid this, it's essential to clean your drains regularly.

How Often to Clean Your Drains:

• Candles and hot water: Every 1-3 months
• A drain snake (auger): Every 6-12 months
• Baking soda and vinegar: Every 3-6 months

It's also worth noting that if you live in an area with hard water or frequent sewage backups, it may be necessary to clean your drains more frequently.
