It’s essential to keep a shower drain cleaner. Different kinds of filth like hairs and soap residues attach to a shower drain when you use it. To reduce flooding risks and quick and adequate drainage, have a clean drain. The good thing is with the support of many household cleaning products in the market. The shower drain will look and work effectively like the day you first installed it.
Shower drains products are of high quality to offer a lifetime bathroom service. Most of them have removable siphons, which are easy to clean because of patent access points. The siphons are antimicrobial ABS plastic made, thus providing the best hygiene.
How To Clean
The shower drain has different materials and design covers. You have to use the right products for cleaning to ensure they don’t harm the drain materials. To get the right cleaning products, read the product guidelines.
Cleaning The Trim Or Grate
There are different types of trim types, but they are all easy to clean. Repeated grate cleaning is vital to ensure better water drainage. Remove the grate cover using the grate removal tool. Some shower grates come with this tool at the time of buying. The tool facilitates the lifting of drain covers. It also aids in adjusting the adjustable drain legs to increase or reduce height.
Use warm water and a soft piece of cloth to clean a chrome-plated or a stainless-steel shower grate. Don’t worry if it’s polished, brushed, or chrome-plated. Apply the detergent on the surface and smudge in circular movements. Leave the detergent to soak for about three minutes and rinse with water. Treat the surface to protect the coating.
Cleaning The Siphon
Shower grates have different siphons, and it’s easy to clean them all. If the shower drain has a hear catcher, you will have to remove and clean it often. For a removable siphon, you will have easy access to a water seal when you remove the grate. Remove the water seal and clean it. Remove the siphon oval inspection cap before cleaning if it’s present. After cleaning, plug back the cap into the siphon.
For a fixed siphon, start by removing the siphon plug using a removal tool for easy access. Use a brush to clean the other parts and the siphon. When through, put the plug back into the siphon.
Clean the access pipe to the sewer using a wire snake or flexible brush. Don’t use sharp objects.
Channel Cleaning
The channel or built-in set is the inside of the drain. Clean it using mild house cleaning products and be keen not to harm the ABS plastic or the stainless steel. If it has attached residue, use some water and a soft brush to prevent scratching. Rinse well after cleaning this part.
Linear Drain And Shower Grating Channel
Stainless steel shower grates are available in different shapes and designs. The standard available styles are the pressed meta and the podium finish. They are handcrafted to fit customer requirements by width, length, and shape. The curved faceted designs at times are favourable in modern bathrooms. Custom stainless steel shower grates allow unrestricted water flow of many shower heads found in modern bathrooms. They are the best fit in such bathrooms.
Summery
Retaining a shiny finish on the stainless steel is a matter of very simple and few steps. You don’t need special equipment or expensive products. Use the ordinary household cleaners. Dry the surface with a soft cloth after cleaning to get rid of all streaky marks left behind.
