Keeping your drains clean helps prevent clogs, odors, and costly plumbing issues. Start by running hot water down the drain regularly to flush away grease and soap buildup. Once a week, pour a mixture of baking soda and vinegar into the drain, let it sit for about 10–15 minutes, then rinse with hot water to break down residue naturally. Avoid pouring cooking oil, coffee grounds, or food scraps down kitchen drains, as these are common causes of blockages. For bathroom sinks and showers, remove hair and debris from the drain cover often and use a drain screen to catch buildup before it goes down. If water drains slowly even after cleaning, try a plunger or a drain snake instead of chemical cleaners, which can damage pipes over time.
