Let’s be honest, pets make life better. But, between the shedding fur, muddy paws, and playful messes, they can bring some plumbing headaches too. If you’re a pet parent, you’ve probably dealt with the constant struggle of pet hair clogging your drains. But don’t worry – we’ve got your back with some easy tips and hair clog remover liquid to help you keep your plumbing happy (and your furry friend even happier).
1. Groom Your Pet Regularly to Minimize Hair Shedding
First things first – regular grooming is key. Brushing your pet often helps reduce the amount of fur that gets left behind all over your home and, more importantly, in your drains. If you can, brush your pet outside. That way, all that hair doesn’t end up clogging your tub or shower drain. Plus, your pet will feel like a million bucks after a good grooming session!
- Tip: Regular grooming is not only a game-changer for your plumbing, but it also keeps your pet comfy and healthy.
2. Use the Drain Opener to Fight Clogs
Even with the best grooming habits, some hair will always make its way into the drains. When that happens, you need a drain opener that works – and our Liquid Drain Opener is essential. It’s powerful enough to break down pet hair, soap scum, and grease, so you can keep your pipes clear without worrying about clogs. The Drain Opener is now available at Wal-Mart, Lowe’s, and Amazon.
- Tip: Keep the Drain Opener in your covert for when the inevitable clog strikes. It clears hair and debris fast without damaging your pipes.
3. Prevent Hair Build-Up and Keep Drains Flowing
If you’re like most pet owners, your drains are constantly battling fur, soap, and other debris. Keep things flowing smoothly by using the Build-Up Remover. It helps break down any hair build-up before it turns into a major clog. Trust us – your plumbing will thank you for it. Available now at Wal-Mart or Amazon.
- Tip: Think of the Build-Up Remover as a preventive measure – use it regularly to keep hair build-ups from taking over your pipes.
4. Install a Hair Catcher to Stop Hair Before It Happens
Hair catchers are a total game-changer, and they’re a must-have for any pet owner. Whether you’re dealing with your pet’s fur or your own, a hair catcher can stop hair before it ever has a chance to reach your drain. Danco offers a variety of uniquely designed hair catchers and bathtub strainers made to prevent hair from slipping down the drain and wreaking havoc.
- Suction Cup Hair Catcher: This clever design stays in place with a patent-pending suction cup, so you don’t have to worry about it sliding around. It traps hair without blocking water flow, meaning no more hair-filled tubs! Check it out now at the Home Depot or Amazon.
- Hair Catcher Bathtub Strainer: This flower-shaped strainer uses tiny silicone pegs to catch hair and debris before it reaches your pipes. And the best part? It’s super easy to clean – no more dealing with gunky, stinky hair catchers. Available at the Home Depot & on Amazon.
- Tip: Clean your hair catcher regularly to keep it working at its best and prevent hair from sneaking past it.
5. Routine Plumbing Maintenance Will Save You Trouble Later
Even with all these tricks in your arsenal, it’s important to stay on top of regular plumbing maintenance. Check your drains now and then to see if there’s any hair build-up. If you notice that water is draining slowly, it might be time to reach for your trusty drain opener or build-up remover.
- Tip: Catching small issues before they become big problems will save you time, money, and a whole lot of stress.
6. Grooming Tips for Pet Parents
To make sure your grooming routine is as effective as possible, consider using a vacuum attachment designed for pet hair or brushing your pets outside. This will minimize the amount of hair that ends up inside and help keep your drains clear.
- Tip: Brushing your pet outside isn’t just good for your plumbing – it’s a great way to keep your home fur-free!
With a little effort and the right products, you can easily keep your home pet-friendly without worrying about plumbing issues. Regular grooming, using Liquid Rhyno Drain Opener and Build-Up Remover, and installing a Danco hair catcher will all help you stay ahead of pet hair problems. So, go ahead – enjoy the perks of having pets, while keeping your plumbing in top shape.
