Tips to Keep Your Drains Healthy for the Holidays

Keeping your home clean and functioning is always a priority throughout the year, but during the holidays, it can feel overwhelming to keep up with cleaning while participating in all of the other activities of the season. Instead of stressing about keeping your drains clear and healthy this holiday season, Drainbo is here to help!


Don’t Pour Grease Down the Drain!

This may seem like a simple tip, but it’s always worth repeating, especially during the holiday season, when you’re more likely to be cooking or frying big meals. Your drains are more likely to clog or get damaged if you pour grease down them. The buildup of grease that’s cooled off grease can contribute to cumbersome clogs, but if you pour hot grease down your drain, you may damage your pipes with the scalding heat. Instead, collect your used grease in an old can or container and throw it away in the trash once it’s congealed into a solid.

Keep Up With Regular Cleaning

Regular schedules of any kind can be difficult to keep up with during the holiday season. From time off school if your family has kids, to time off of work, to holiday shopping and even hosting guests in the form of friends or family, schedules tend to get off-track! However, to keep your drains healthy throughout the season, try to squeeze in times to clean your sinks, showers, and tubs so they don’t experience clogs or damage or built-up grime.

Harsh Chemicals Can Do More Harm Than Good

While many people think that store-brand chemical drain cleaners are the best way to keep your drains healthy, they may actually be causing more harm than good! Some harsh chemical drain cleaners or unclogging products may actually cause damage to your pipes and drains. Because every cleaner is made differently, they’re not often a one-size-fits-all solution, and if you have older pipes or pipes made from less durable materials, using these harsh chemical cleaners may lead to leaks, breaks, or clogs in your home.
