Will you be able to enjoy your bath if your bathroom is flooding? Of course not! And, will you have the time or the energy to unclog your shower drain at that moment? Unfortunately, no. The only option you are left with is to call up emergency plumbers in Mandurah and ask them to clean the clogged shower drain for you. However, the task is no rocket science that you need to opt for professional help. If you take some time out on your weekend, it is one of the easiest DIY tasks that you can accomplish.

How?
The following points will clear your doubts regarding that but before you go through them, it is essential for you to know that there are three ways in which you can unclog your shower drain- Domestic and Mechanical. Let us discuss both of them in details.

The Domestic Method
You can take the help of household materials like Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate), White Vinegar, Boiling Water and a loose piece of cloth to clean your blocked shower drain. Pick a convenient time when your shower will not be used as the whole thing will take a few hours or so.

• Pour some Baking Soda down the drain
• Pour Vinegar almost immediately
• The combination will create a fizzing action that will do away with the  clog. However, do not forget to plug the cloth in
• Take the kettle of boiled water and flush it down the drain to remove the substances. Repeat the procedure, if needed.

You need to wear gloves and shades to avoid getting into contact with either the boiling water or the Baking Soda-Vinegar mixture. Also, wear your plumbing clothes to avoid getting dirty.

The Mechanical Method
Now, if you want to pull out the clog by your hand, then it is best to use a crochet hook or a thin wire coat hanger as a handy tool. You can also buy a drain snake to eliminate hair or other foreign substances that are clogging the drain. It is going to be some dirt work so put on your gloves before you indulge in any such activity. Lastly, use baking soda and vinegar, as mentioned above to clean the area.

Seems easy enough? Well, it is. But, sometimes, after a hectic week, it is quite natural to feel lethargic about cleaning your shower drain. In that case, make sure you have the contacts of local plumbing solutions in Mandurah so that you can call them up and let them take care of the issue.
