Drain Cleaning Tips

Most drain clogs are caused by the gradual accumulation of organic matter — like hair, grease and food — on the inside walls of drainpipes. Over time, this buildup slows the normal flow of water through the pipe, sometimes stopping the flow altogether. Cooking grease, soap scum, lint and hair combine to create the perfect storm of drain-clogging, flow-slowing, sink-smelling and bacteria-breeding nuisance. Prevention is your best line of defense against household clogs. Installing a drain strainer in sinks, tubs and showers will go a long way to prevent drain buildup. Add a capful of Mr Muscle® drain cleaner to your drains each month as another preventative measure to keep blockage at bay.
