HOW TO KEEP YOUR DRAINS CLEAN!

Are your drains starting to smell and in need of a deep clean?

After a good few weeks (or months… or years? Who’s judging?!) There is a build up from soap, food and other products and dirt that gradually clogs up your drains. Not only will that mean that there is a bad drainage, but the smell can be rather revolting. Can you tell I have a thing about smells yet? For me, there is nothing nicer than walking into a place that smells nice and the drains are a great place to start to keep these awful smells at bay.

I try to do it every time I do a deep clean (every few weeks), but if you aren’t so worried and simply want to do it from time to time to make sure the sink isn’t blocked then that is more than fine! 

These are the steps to take to make sure your drains are clear of grime and using natural household products to do it, too.
