Manual cleaning method.

The floor drain is clogged because various dirt enters the sewer through the floor drain opening. Therefore, the first priority is to clean the dirt in the floor drain. You can use tools such as pliers or steel wire hooks. After opening the floor drain cover, insert it into the sewer pipe. This way, all the dirt can be removed and the floor drain will be unobstructed without clogging.

What should I do if the floor drain is clogged?

Physical unblocking method.

If the dirt is located deep and cannot be completely removed by manual cleaning, physical unblocking methods need to be adopted. You can use a raft used to unclog a toilet, aim it at the drain opening of the floor drain, and apply the principle of siphoning. Press down to hold it and then pull it up. Repeat this several times, and the drain pipe can usually be unclogged.

What should I do if the floor drain is clogged?

Log unclogging method.

If there are logs left over from carpentry work at home that are close in diameter to the sewer, you can try inserting the logs into the sewer pipe. At the same time, add an appropriate amount of water to the sink and quickly and continuously move the logs up and down. At this point, the dirt in the sewer pipe will be flushed away under the action of suction and pressure.

Soda adhesion method.

When encountering blockages that cannot be resolved by physical unblocking methods, you can try the soda adhesion method. First, pour half a cup of baking soda into the sewer, and then pour in half a cup of edible vinegar. At this point, after the reaction between soda and vinegar, the oily substances adhering to the pipes can generally be removed.

Drug decomposition method.

A more worry-free method is to use common pipe unclogging agents. When you feel that the sewer at home is running too slowly, you can take about 50 grams of pipe unclogging agent and pour it into the sewer. Then, add about 200ML of clean water. After 30 minutes, pour in a large amount of clean water to unclog it.

The method of preventing clogging with stockings.

The above-mentioned methods are all for unblocking after the blockage occurs. To prevent future blockages, the method of using stockings to prevent blockages can be adopted. Take a thin pair of stockings, cut a small piece, and fix it to the floor drain as long as possible. In this way, all the dirt like hair will accumulate on the stockings. At that time, just throw away the stockings together.
