Stop Clogs Before They Happen
For many people, ceasing the habit of putting dry foods down the drain is tough. It takes more time and effort to wipe a dish in the trash, then wash it, than to just do everything all at once. Plus, what about soup? Or smoothies? Sometimes it’s hard to decipher what is safe for the drain.
While we usually stick to the standards of keeping solids out of your drain, there is a tool that can help be a safeguard against accidents. A drain catcher is a small cover that sits atop your drain, basically like a strainer. It holds solids and lets liquids flow through.
Here’s why drain catchers can be a game-changer in your home.
In the Kitchen
In the Bathroom
Drain catchers are also great for sink and shower drains. We lose a lot of hair in the shower, and if left untreated, it can accumulate in the drain and cause bad odors and clogs. Likewise, for people who shave over the bathroom sink, hair can get caught in the drain and cause a blockage.
There are many kinds of drain catchers for the bathroom, which are usually designed to primarily catch hair. They are also usually pretty cheap!
In both the kitchen and bathroom, drain catchers are an inexpensive way to prevent clogs, which could lead to more problems down the road.
