Clogged drains are mostly the result of all the unnecessary debris flowing down the drain. Despite ensuring that none of these enter your drain line, drains do get clogged. Thanks to the daily hair fall in the shower, shaving; not to mention the amount of toothpaste and soap in the sink.

However, timely maintenance and care can prevent drains from clogging.

• Clean the drain regularly. You can do this with the use of enzymes. Yet another way to do this is to fill the sink with water and then open the stopper to allow water to rush through the line for cleaning.
• Hair, pieces of food, and other debris are a few of the culprits that clog drains. To avoid this, a good idea is to keep drains covered with a mesh.
• Pop up drain stoppers are handy, but also a cause of clogged drains, as they allow the buildup of soap scum and other residues.
• Once a week, use a wire, open the drain cover and remove the hair and other residues, which would otherwise lead to clogged drains.
