Bathrooms can be very comforting places of relaxation and stress relief. Of course, that certainly will not be the case if you have plumbing issues in your bathroom. Here are a few tips to keep your bathroom that peaceful, relaxing sanctuary and those warm bubble baths flowing!
- To ensure your shower and bathtub lines flow efficiently, run the hot water about once a week. If you have a small clog, use a snake or plumbing liquid to free it as soon as possible. The bigger the clog, the harder to get out. To reduce the chance of a clog in the tub or shower, install simple strainers that are meant to catch hair and other pipe-clogging debris. Clean the strainers often.
- If you notice a leaky faucet, repair it immediately. If not repaired in a timely manner, it can cause a great deal of damage to fixtures, faucets, and the surrounding area (water damage to floors and cabinets).
- A simple way to get rid of those ugly mineral deposits on shower heads is by placing vinegar in a bag and securing it over the shower head with a tie. Let it sit for a few hours or overnight and simply wipe away the deposits with a cloth. You could also remove the shower head and place it in a bowl of vinegar if you prefer.
- To keep your tub sparkling clean and ready for the next hot bubble bath, be sure to clean it at least once a week. This will also prevent mineral deposits and soap scum from building up which is unsightly, slippery, and much more difficult to clean once built-up.
- Though obvious, never use your toilet as a trash dispenser. Doing so can cause serious clogs that are sometimes impossible to get out without the help of a professional.
