germanybrilliant.com - How To Caring Floor Drain | Floor drainage is a drainage channel for disposing of dirty water, washing water, or used water. The floor drain is usually found in areas in the house such as bathrooms, patios, garages, sinks, or bathtubs. The function of drainage itself is to drain water quickly and efficiently towards final disposal or gutters.

Floor Drain in outdoor areas such as terraces or garages serves to dispose of rainwater or dirty water used in the laundry so it does not cause flooding. The same thing passed for drainage in the bathroom, sink, kitchen sink, and bathtub.

Unfortunately, despite its vital role, many people neglect the treatment of the floor drain. Some of the problems caused by drainage that is not treated properly are the occurrence of blockages, clogging, water overflowing, and causing unpleasant odors.

In order not to get worse and the situation becomes more chaotic, recognize how to treat floor drain in order to prevent problems that can be caused by drainage that is not functioning properly.

1. Fill the floor drain trap periodically

The floor drain is designed to drain water quickly, efficiently, and safely into sewers or drains so that the floor remains dry and not flooded. Water leftover from the bathroom, toilet, bathtub, sink, washing machine will be captured and discharged through drainage.

Filling the floor drain trap periodically can prevent sewage, insects, and gas odors from entering the sewer and entering the house. Pour one gallon of water under each floor drain to fill the trap and form a barrier between the house and the drainage system.
 

2. Clean the drainage from garbage and dirt

Often the floor drain is clogged due to the accumulation of debris such as dust and dirt until the hair is stuck and not wasted. The first sign that drainage is clogged is water that recedes slowly. In addition, drainage can overflow water that fails to be discharged due to blocked ducts.

To clean it, it can be opened manually and discarded. If the floor drain has a closed model, use tools such as a vacuum, plunger, or pump to clear the blockage. The most common way is to pour baking soda and vinegar into a blocked drain. If you don't have vinegar, replace it with salt.
 

3. Clean drainage regularly

Check and clean the drain regularly, for example once or twice a month. Cleaning the floor drain regularly can also prevent further clogging.

If you want to clean it yourself, use this method:

  • Mix and dissolve 1/2 cup of baking soda with 1/4 cup of salt.
  • Pour the mixed solution into the drain plus 1 cup of hot vinegar. This will cause foam and bubbles.
  • Let stand for 15 minutes.
  • Clean with hot running water for 15-30 seconds.
  • If you don't have hot water, pour a gallon of water or water in a large bucket so the pressure is great to release the drainage clogging impurities.

     

If you do not want to bother, just hire a professional cleaning service to clean the clogged floor drain and of course minimal risk of damaging equipment and other furniture.
