How to choose a drain cleaner?

A clogged kitchen drain can lead to serious problems, so it is very important to clean up your drainage system regularly. To efficiently clean your drainage, you need to use the right types of drain cleaning equipment and clears. To help you choose the right drain cleaners, here are some important points to consider.

The cause of the problem

Accumulation of grease, food particles, hair, debris and other foreign objects are some of the common reasons for drain clogging. If your drain is clogged, you should investigate the cause of the problem first before you buy cleaners. Removing the drain cover To do this, simply remove the drain cover, use a flashlight to light up the area and see what is causing the problem. If the pipe looks greasy, you may be dealing with an accumulation of food fats, grease and grime. Drain cleaner
To solve the problem, you should buy a drain cleaner that is designed to dissolve grease and fats. Powerful enzyme drain cleaner, warm water and some drain cleaning tools should be able to help you get rid of the grease and grime. Warm water and mild detergent To prevent food fats and grease from accumulating in your drain again, clean your drain daily by using warm water and mild detergent. If your drain looks fine, but still won’t train properly, there may be blockage deep into the pipe. Water jetting For serious blockage located deep into the pipes, you should consider water jetting. Drain jetting is an effective way of dislodging debris and foreign objects inside the pipes. However, you should be careful when jetting your pipes as too strong water pressure may cause damage.

Health and safety

Some types of drain cleaners contain strong chemicals which can be harmful to your health, so check the labels first before you buy any cleaners. Avoid products that contain synthetic ingredients and harmful chemicals. As much as possible, go for natural drain cleaners that are made of organic or 100 percent biodegradable ingredients.

Brand and cost

Well-known brands of drain cleaners usually give good results, so if your budget allows it, you should opt for these products. However, expensive drainer cleaners are not necessarily more effective than cheaper brands. In fact, some medium priced brands perform better than the expensive ones, so you should choose wisely. Buy a small pack or bottle of drain cleaner first and try it out. If you do not have the time or the patience to experiment on different brands of cleaners, you can always ask your friends or relatives what types of drain cleaners they use.
