Drain unblocking: How do you properly clean a blocked drain in the shower?

Again and again, the shower drain becomes contaminated due to its regular use. The situation gets worse if you don’t live alone and the number of deposits causing these increases. Hair, soap and skin particles can cause blockages that lead to unpleasant odours. To prevent this, it is important to regularly check that the drain is in good working order and to clean it thoroughly.

The upper part of the drain is easy to clean with a sponge and standard household detergent. Deeper soiling, however, requires other materials or even tools. If you remember to clean the drain regularly and pay attention to hygiene and cleanliness, your drain will work for a long time. As professional cleaning agents and tools are expensive and contain chemicals, they are generally only used by professionals. This is a particularly sensible approach for households with children.

A well-known and common household solution to drainage problems is the combination of vinegar and baking soda. To achieve the desired effect, pour a cup of baking soda followed by a cup of vinegar down the drain. The products react together and form gases for thorough cleaning. To achieve an even better effect, you can cover the drain with a plug or a damp cloth. When the reaction is over after about 10–15 minutes and no more fizzing is noticeable, pour in a litter of boiling water to remove any residue.

In addition to the version mentioned above, there is also an alternative for stubborn blockages. For this, you need

• 300 grams of salt
• 300 grams of baking soda
• 250 millilitres of vinegar

Mix all the components in a large bowl and pour the mixture down the drain immediately. It is a good idea to prepare the mixture directly in the shower. As in the previous case, close the drain with a damp cloth until the reaction is over. Again, pour in a litter of boiling water afterwards.
