The\u00a0slow-moving drains\u00a0are the cause of black slime and hair built up in our drainpipe. <strong>Black slime<\/strong> is a living organism made up of bacteria living in hair, soap, shampoo, toothpaste and other waste products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of us are familiar with the statement that <strong><em>prevention is better than cure.<\/em><\/strong> But we hardly apply these in our life which results in various problems. One of the problems is blockage in the sink and basin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most homeowners become very careless when it comes to the\nplumbing maintenance, especially in our drain pipes. We ignore it until and\nunless the problem arises. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only after having a blockage problem we jump into action. We have a trend of allowing the water to pass through drainpipe by removing the stopper whenever there is a blockage in our sink and basin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;This may temporarily solve the problem but it results\neven in a worse case. After some time the main drain pipe in our house will get\nblock which will be even more difficult to solve. It also reduces the life of\npipes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a little preventative maintenance, we can stop such\nproblems from happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Few table spoons of baking soda with vinegar once in a week can remove black slime in the drain pipes<\/li><li>Few litres of boiling water down the bathroom basin and kitchen sink pipes every couple of weeks can prevent a build-up of slimes and wastes.<\/li><li>Vinegar is an excellent stuff to use for maintenance of our pipes\u00a0as it can kill more than 80% of mould forming in pipes.<\/li><li>In severe cases, remove the stopper in the sink, and then remove the hair and slim using a \u00a0hook and clean the pipe with baking soda and vinegar<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nothing is worse than free-standing water that stays in our sinks and basins making the water to move so slowly down the drain or complete blockage of water down the drain.&nbsp; To prevent blockage in drain pipes, we need to maintain a high flow of water in drain pipes on a daily basis.
