This stops them draining effectively and can cause bad odours to build.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To prevent that, <\/span><b>here\u2019s how to clean a bathtub drain\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Clean A Bathtub Drain<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start by removing any visible hair, soap scum, or debris from the surface of the drain. You can use your hands or a small brush to pull out as much gunk as possible &#8211; wearing rubber gloves, of course!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many bathtub drains have a cover or stopper that can be unscrewed. Use a screwdriver (or your hands, depending on the type of cover) to remove the drain cover carefully and get it nice and clean.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wecasa.co.uk\/mag\/how-to-unblock-a-shower-drain\/\">To clean the inside of your drain, there are a few options<\/a>. You could use a drain snake to physically pull out the clogged material, which you then discard in the bin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or, you could use a specialised drain cleaner which you pour down the drain then let sit to dissolve through the hair, oils, and dirt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To test whether the drain is still clogged, just try running some water to see how well it drains. You may need to repeat the unclogging process a few times to really clear the pipes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Often Should You Clean Bathtub Drains<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How often you clean your bathtub drain might depend on a few things.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a busy household with lots of people,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wecasa.co.uk\/mag\/regular-cleaning-or-one-off-cleaning\/\"> you\u2019ll want to clean it more regularly<\/a>. If any of you have long hair, you\u2019ll want to pick up the frequency even more!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But in general, a good rule of thumb is to clean it once a week.
