These helpful hints should help keep the plumbing in your bathroom running efficiently.
- Once a week run hot water down the drain to help keep it free-flowing.
- Repair leaky faucets to avoid further damage to the fixtures and faucets. Repairing these faucets will save you money.
- Tubs and showers should be fitted with strainers that catch hair and soap chips. Clean the strainers regularly.
- To remove unsightly mineral deposits on your shower head, put one cup of vinegar in a plastic bag and place it over the shower head.
- Hold it in place with a twist tie and let stand overnight. In the morning, remove the bag and wipe off the mineral deposits with a damp cloth.
- Do not use your toilet as a wastebasket. Do not flush facial tissue, Q-tips (cotton swabs) feminine sanitary products or diapers as they do not dissolve and can clog the lines. Keep a trash container in each bathroom.
