Creepy cabinets and petrified plumbing. Blood-stained bathtubs and slimy showers. Terrified
toilets and screaming sinks. For some people, Halloween doesn’t happen once a
year but every day of the year. Here are some helpful tips to exorcise your
bathroom from its demons.
According to Better
Homes and Gardens, slow draining sinks, tubs and showers scare homeowners most.
For bathroom sinks, the pro’s advice is to close the drain, fill your sink with
hot boiling water and then open the drain carefully. If you’re lucky the water pressure
will dislodge the debris. For tubs and showers you might have to remove the clog
manually with a hanger by unscrewing the drain cover, and prying the debris out
with a straightened coat hanger with a small hook at the end. If you don’t feel
comfortable with this approach, call in a plumber.
Straight out of the classic horror movie Psycho, a leaky showerhead
can ruin anybody’s day. Usually it’s nothing more than mineral buildup or a
worn-out rubber gasket that’s seen better days. Start by finding out the cause
of the problem. Remove the showerhead with a pair of pliers or a wrench; be
careful to not bend the attached pipe. If the gasket is worn, you can pick up a
new one at your local hardware store. But if a clogged showerhead seems to be
the problem soaking it in vinegar overnight will loosen the deposits. Poking
the holes with a toothpick into the showerhead’s holes and scrubbing it in the
morning will remove them completely. The vinegar will also leave your new
showerhead shiny and clean.
While these quick fixes might end your bathroom spook fest;
you might need some help from Soak Saskatoon for the right products and
accessories so that you can live happily ever after.
