As the connection between the bathroom and the outside world, the performance of the floor drain can alleviate the accumulation of water vapor and the growth of odor in the bathroom.
What follows is that the floor drain is easy to clog, and the floor drain is difficult to resist stubborn stains. Even after a long time, the floor drain has become the source of odor, polluting the air in the entire bathroom.
So how should the floor drain be cleaned and maintained? Then please follow Ghonor to learn.
How to clean the floor drain:
1. Cleaning tools: bucket, brush, water pipe, rubber gloves, etc.
2. Cleaning method: When disassembling and cleaning, be sure to clean up the debris on the partition first to prevent the debris from being thrown into the sewer and causing siltation.
Then use a brush to wash the various parts of the floor drain, and you can use some detergent to clean it. After that, disinfect and deodorize the sewer, and then reinstall the floor drain.
So if you want to keep your stainless steel drain clean and odor-free, it should be a long-term maintenance, develop good daily cleaning habits:
1. Quick daily habits:
Remove dirt after showering
→ Cleaning hair and soap scum? While the floor is still wet, wipe the drain grate with toilet paper or an old rag. It only takes 10 seconds.
Pro tip: Use small tweezers to remove stubborn hair.
2. Rinse with boiling water once a week
→ Remove dirt before it sticks. Slowly pour the cleaner down the drain to melt the soap residue (just like removing grease from a pan).
3. Deep cleaning (perform monthly):
Pull out the drain grate
→ Unscrew or lift. Most drain grates pop out easily.
Soak the parts in vinegar and baking soda
→ Mix the mixture in a bowl in a 1:1 ratio. Let it sit for 15 minutes. Scrub with an old toothbrush.
Rinse, dry, reinstall
→ No vinegar smell? That's great.
