How to clean your bathroom sink drain and trap | Day 10/30 of my Spring Cleaning Spree #home #diy

Day 10/30 of my Spring Cleaning Spree and things are starting to get a bit hairy! Today, we are cleaning out our sink’s drains and traps (and shower, if you’re feeling extra motivated!) Make sure to have a bucket when you’re taking care of the sink, and to double check after you’re done that you do not have any leaks once everything is back together. Im trying to help you clean, not cause more messes! This is a job that may be a bit much for anyone squeamish about hair, but I believe in you! This bit of maintenance will also save you in the long run from having to deal with clogged sinks and showers. Have a great night, from the Midwest!

My white drain trap was brown. 😂

Thanks for the tips. I was able to deep clean it with a bottle brush

Seeing you do these spring cleaning videos makes cleaning feel less overwhelming someday its a smaller task but it's all very targeted❤

I am so excited to get my first house and just DEEP CLEAN IT FOR LIKE A MONTH because of your videos ☺️

We've lived in this TH for about 2 years. My wife's mother had it since it was new in 1997. Every few months the sink goes down slow. I just did what you showed in this video, and it's PERFECT. THANK YOU!

Instead of all that pour borax down the pipe. It’s safe on all finishes and it destroys in hair or other crap in the pipe. You can buy a bottle of borax from a plumbing supply house

I'm afraid to clean my trap, that thing must have dirt that goes back several previous tenants.

I can't take the sink apart as I'll mess it up so I use a really long bottle brush with the soap mixture you use, run hot water, vinegar and baking soda and Voila!😊

You remind me of my aunt Ellen, God rest her soul. She could clean for Canada

When dissasembling the ptrap go from the U of the P not the straight portion of the pipe, same thing when you reassemble, it'a better for the seal.

Thank you!!! I did it this weekend and I was so grossed out. I will clean them every 6 months now.

This was so helpful and easy to follow. My drains were full of hair THANK YOU

[Rachel-cfcm]

I have been trying for so long to get the plug out of the sink to clean it. Thank you so much for showing us.

Thanks for the video, just cleaned the grudge out of my P trap

I've never met a plumber that would advise pouring boiling water down your drains. It could melt the PVC pipes, seals, and cause more damage.

Don't forget to plug the sink overflow and clean it also, use vinegar and baking soda, this overflow gets filled with schemoo from years of debris, use a long, small cleaning brush, do this while you have the drain stopper out, just reinstall the little rod and nut to prevent everything from leaking out of the stopper opening in the drain. This should help to prevent the sink from overflowing if someone leaves a cloth or something in the sink, also eliminates smells in the sink!

Thank you! I was wondering how to do that❤

[sunnyshores]

thank you our sink has been clogged for months some of my hair got washed down there after I brushed it I have long thick hair so it turned into a big clog unfortunately

[dwayned.]

I’ve heard from plumber after plumber that you should not pour boiling water down your drains. That plastic Snake. And then borax.

[mixching]

What is the long term effect of poring boiling water though the drain?

Not sure if you'll see this comment since this video is old but do you have any tips for when the stopper is stuck? I cleaned one sink successfully but in the second sink the stopper just wouldn't come out. I didn't wanna use any tools to force it out in case there's something else I should do
