Blocked Drains Harrogate

Are you tired of dealing with a clogged shower drain in your North Yorkshire home? A clean shower drain filter is essential to ensure the smooth flow of water and prevent clogs. In this article, we will provide you with a simple DIY guide on how to clean a shower drain filter.

A shower drain filter is designed to catch hair and other debris that can clog your drains. However, if not cleaned regularly, it can become clogged itself, causing water to back up into your shower. This can lead to a messy and frustrating situation. Cleaning your shower drain filter regularly can help prevent clogs and ensure your shower drains properly.

1. Remove the filter: Start by removing the shower drain filter. This is usually located at the bottom of the shower drain. You may need to use a screwdriver or pliers to remove it.
2. Clean the filter: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove any visible hair or debris from the filter.
3. Soak the filter: Soak the filter in hot water and baking soda for several hours or overnight. This will help loosen any tough clogs.
4. Use a plunger: If the filter is still clogged, use a plunger to try and dislodge any blockages. Make sure to create a good seal around the drain before plunging.
5. Rinse the filter: Once the filter is clean, rinse it thoroughly with hot water to remove any remaining debris.
6. Replace the filter: Put the filter back in place and make sure it is securely attached.
