What the h*ll is "basic hygiene" anyway?

If you're like me, you've been struggling with hygiene for a long time. I'm neurodivergent, I have chronic fatigue and chronic pain, so yeah, it's been hard, my whole life.

Here's a few tips that helped me or some of my friends.

1. Redefine "basic hygiene"

No, really. Redefine it. Neurotypical and able-bodied people will tell you all can of things about what is "basic" hygiene.

The rule is: do what you can. That's it. The rest of the post will be tips to increase what you can do. But in the meantime, just do your best. You're fantastic the way you are.

2. Time

There's two thing here.

The first is: find the right time for you. It's not always easy, because we often have obligations, and we're supposed to be clean at those right moments. It's not easy. Sometimes it "helps" because it gives us that "boost" we needed to start getting clean, but most of the time it's just stressful. So instead find the moment that works best for you. I know there's moments in the day when it'll be easier for me to start tasks that I would struggle with at an other time, but I prioritise other things instead for a reason or another. Try washing yourself then, even if people will tell you it's strange to have a shower at three pm. Who cares.

The second is: divide to conquer. You don't have to wash ALL the parts of your body at once. You don't necessarily have the energy for it and it's okay. Also it can feel daunting to face that long list of steps. A body has a LOT of parts to wash and clean. Really, that's scary and exhausting. So the solution might be to do smaller things here and there. Do what you can when you can, that's okay. At least you've done something, that's great!

You are also allowed to take breaks in the middle. It can help if you are tired, or if it makes you anxious.

3. Wipes.

I personally hate washing with soap and water, whether it's a bath, shower or just at the sink. It takes time, it's a lot of steps, and it feels horrible. I do it when I can, but I don't enjoy it. The partial solution is wipes.

Baby wipes are great, they're soft, some smell good but faint, some has no odor. You can clean yourself quickly without rinsing. And they don't let that terrible feeling on your skin.

There's wipes made for your private parts. Which is an important part to clean. Also wet toilet paper is good. (For private parts wipes, buy the organic ones, you don't want anything too harsh there)

Make-up removal wipes are not just to remove make-up. They do clean you face.

Don't use antibacterial wipes though. At least not regularly. They are too harsh for your skin, you'll just damage it. Also too much antibacterial stuffs just make bacterias more resistant.

Bonus point: wipes can easily be carried in a bag. Handy.

4. Charts and lists and apps.

Whether you forget to do it or it you have done it already, or you can't get motivated, or you can't manage to start washing, or there's so many steps you get overwhelmed, or you start but can't remember what to do next, etc., those tips might help.

There's apps like Habitica (it's the most well known but there's others) that help you building habits and remembering to do stuffs and making it fun (help with rewards). It's about general tasks but can be applied to washing. A friend also told me there's a pokemon app to brush your teeth but I haven't tried it.

If you get overwhelmed by the steps and get lost in the middle, making a list of those steps, laminating and putting it in the bathroom near the sink or in the shower can help you keeping tracks. You can even put a dry erase marker near the list to check what have already be done.

5. The "bath buddy"

If you live with someone, you can ask their help.

I'm not saying they have to wash you. Or maybe I am? A friend takes his showers with his boyfriend to help getting motivated.

It can just be your platonic roommate behind the door talking to you, telling you funny stories.

Having company can help start the task and make it more enjoyable which help in itself but also make it less daunting the next times. Having a bath buddy also helps if you get lost in the middle of a task, they can tell you what the next step is. They can also keep you on tracks and in the present (I know I tend to dissociate a lot in the bathroom). And they keep your mind off the bad stuffs (body dysphoria for example, or sensory discomfort)

6. You're never too old for "kids' stuffs"

Because you're never to old for fun stuffs.

No, really, there's no reason why you should deprive yourself of something that would make washing more fun.

Wash your teeth with bubblegum flavored toothpaste.

Play with bathtoys. Buy those little plastic boats and those little squirting animals. (Seriously, the fact that the only fun thing for bath for adult is bubbles is a crime)

The word here is "fun". Make the bathroom fun. Buy a shower curtain with cute elephants playing with water. Put adhesive ducks on the tiles. Make that darn room a place you want to be in, not just to distract you from the bad stuff but to enjoy your life.

7. Teeth. Oh no, the teeth.

First thing: as I said, you don't have to use that "adult toothpaste". The menthol contained in it can be sensory hell. You can use kid toothpaste, it cleans just as well. If you can't use any toothpaste try brushing without it with just water. You can also try toothpaste tablets (you chew on them and then brush). You can try mouthwash. You can try oil-pulling. The point here is to remove some bacteria from your mouth.

About brushing. There's different hardness in toothbrushes. If you're using hard, try medium. If you're using medium, try soft. If you're using soft, try baby toothbrush. If no toothbrush works for you, try a wet cloth, or your finger. Try using toothpicks to remove the remains of food and then use mouthwash.

If the storebought mouthwash doesn't do with you, make it yourself. There's recipes online with essential oils (optional, but maybe there's one you might like), baking soda and water. (I don't recommend using lemon juice, it might damage your enamel.)

My friend just told me I should mention dental floss. I personally hate it, but it might be useful to some of you. It's probably more effective than toothpicks. They also comes mounted on these little plastic sticks if you struggle with the thread alone.

8. Chair

No, really, you have the right to sit down during washing. Buy a shower chair. Put a bench on your bathtub instead of struggling to stand up. Put a chair in front of the sink to sit when you brush your teeth.

You don't have to be physically disabled to use a chair to wash. And if you're disabled there's still no shame. Standing up can be boring, it can be painful, it can be tiring. So sit. You are allowed.

And if you prefer standing, do. You can pace. You can dance. You can do gymnastics. (Just be careful if you're brushing your teeth, okay. Or if you're in the shower. Don't hurt yourself.)

9. Music

If you don't have a buddy to talk to you, music or even podcasts, anything to listen to, can be a nice way to help. They makes the experience more enjoyable. They keeps your head away from the bad sensory experience or the awareness of your own body.

I also find using the same playlist useful to keep track of the time I've been spending in the shower. I even time the steps on the tracklist, I know I washed that part of my body for long enough if that song is over, I need to do the next step.

Also, for me me music is part of the ritual. It helps me to get in the right mind, it motivates me, it makes the routine.

10. Multi-purpose products.

I've seen all those beauty posts about "layering". It's nice if you have the energy and the time, but no, it's not for me.

I hate moisturising creams. I really do. They smells funny, they feels gross and sticky, and it takes forever to apply. It's an unnecessary step for me. But I have dry skin (at least on my body). The easy solution is to use surgras soap or surgras shower gel. (Not just the "moisturising" soap, that won't hydrate as well.)

I don't just remove the unpleasant experience of moisturiser, I remove a step. I save energy.

Also, multi-purpose products help with organisation, there's less things to think about. There's less risk of taking the wrong bottle because you're too headfogged. Less chance of chaos in the bathroom.

I personally can't do that for everything. I'd like to have one soap for everything, but my body skin and my face skin and my private parts and my hair all need different stuffs. But I do try to keep things to a minimum, because the number of products can be quickly overwhelming. So try to balance your sensory needs with your organisation problem.

(Also, if like me you hate the feeling of moisturiser, aloe vera gel is great. It is a bit sticky, but in a different way than cream. I personally prefer that one. There's also the option of oil, there's different kinds for different skin types, even for oily skin.)

11. Japaneses know best: the bidet.

This one might sounds strange for some folx. Where I live, bidets used to be extremely common but they are disappearing. We used to have a bidet next to the toilets in our homes. Japanese toilets have a built-in bidet but they are expensive. There is a cheaper (but still not cheap) alternative. You can buy a bidet toilet seat attachment to put on your own toilets.

Why am I telling you about bidet? Because when you struggle to wash regularly, bidets are incredibly useful.

Toilet paper is highly unhygienic. Wet toilet paper is a bit better. Bidets, that spray a jet of water on your privates, clean so much better.

And they are easy and quick to use. You just press a button and you are clean.

If you have a vagina, it's even more important, because it lowers significantly the risks of getting UTI and the likes.

If you can afford it, I recommend it.

12. The hat, or "well, f*ck it"

You can fail to wash in time for whatever obligation you have. That's okay.

Just use the card "camouflage".

Greasy hair? If they are long, brush them and tie them tightly, and put on a fashionable hat. Or you favorite, silly, hat. Or just a random hat that your aunt gave you (you know the one, you wondered for three weeks if you smiled enough when you received the gift because you didn't want to offend her). Scarfs are nice too.

Other idea to hide greasy hair? A wig. They are higher maintenance, but they are good to have for occasions where you have to look a bit better or if you can't wear a hat for whatever reason.

About odors... Well you know the trick of deodorants and perfume. Not what I recommend, at least not alone. For once not everyone can stand their smell. Also, they aren't that great to succeed at masking odors. If you can, use wipes to clean your armpits (also the underbreasts if you have them) and the neck and chest area. It might not remove all the odors but it'll help and with some deodorant if you can stand it, you should be good.

About deodorant: you can use a dollop of moisturiser (yes, I know I said I hate them, but listen), it will help to stop the formation of odors but the fragrance is usually mild or absent. It's also less harsh than the usual deodorant. You only need a small amount for it to work. You just need to clean before (wipes should be enough)

13. Don't stew in your dirty clothes.

Try to change your clothes often even if you don't wash. Especially your underwears.

I know it might sound counterintuitive to wear clean clothes when your skin is dirty, but staying in old clothes is like wearing a petri dish. By keeping the same clothes on you, you also keep the bacterias that live on it and your body.

It's especially bad in some areas, like your private parts, your feet and your armpits.

If you live alone, or if you live with someone who don't care, don't put clothes on at all. You'll just stew in your bacterial crock pot otherwise.

Staying naked also has the upside of reducing the amount of laundry you have to do.

14. Use your strengths.

Sometimes it's as simple as using your other hand because your dominant one is achy.

Sometimes it's listening to a podcast about your special interest.

You're an artist? Put a whiteboard in the shower. Or, I don't know, draw your body, laminate the drawing, and color the parts you have already washed with a dry erase marker.

Your thing is to make lists of animals of Paraguay? Recite them alphabetically and make a song with them while you brush your teeth and wash your face and clip you nails.

Dancers here? Each movement you make is part of a choreography.

15. Aftercare.

Hygiene is immensely stressful and energy consuming. You don't just deserve a reward, you need aftercare.

It's okay to take a nap. It's okay to need to engage with your special interest. It's okay to need a hug. It's okay to want to be alone. It's okay to feel bad too. Have a cry. Be moody. Don't be ashamed of what you feel. Of course it's better if you manage to avoid these emotions. But it's okay if you have them.

And give yourself a little treat. Have a cup of your favorite tea. Put a shiny sticker in your "things I've done good today" diary. Cuddle with your pet. Read the Swedish dictionary.

Drink a glass of water and eat something.

Also, if you have chronic pain, like I do, take your meds. (My joints are always a bit achy after standing too long, or my shoulder are stiff after washing my hair)

Write an essay about why keeping up with your hygiene is a pain.

Do what you want and do what you need.

16. Shame has no place in the bathroom.

If you've read my previous post, you know what I mean.

I've said it in this post, it's okay to struggle, to not be perfect, or as perfect as neurotypicals and able-bodied people say we should be. Their criterias are bullcrap.

Shame won't help you to keep up to these unachievable standards. They'll just undermine you.

Also, it's okay if some of what I've said here seems unachievable also. I shared what helps me and some of my friends, but your needs might be different and that's totally okay. Maybe someone will make a post with tips that'll help more? I hope so.

Anyway, you do what you can and you congratulate yourself for it. Every step is an achievement worth of praise.

I know it is considered ableist to tell people that if they are going to go out into public they need to shower/wear deodorant/etc but Im actually going to play my autism card and say that it is ableist and inconsiderate of those of us who are hyper-sensory to be in public especially enclosed spaces like transportation or places you will have to stand in line next to other people if you do not smell good.

Like if you just went to the gym, do not get out of your car to use an enclosed ATM or stop at the store for groceries before you shower.

Like I know. I know it is hard to shower. I know it is hard to stay fresh while you're depressed or mentally ill. You should not be excluded from public spaces for struggling with hygiene but you also must consider that it would be inconsiderate of the people you are sharing a space with to smell bad. And this doesnt go just for body odor you also shouldnt eat strongly scented foods in public or smoke/vape in public like once your existence becomes inconsiderate of others you need to re-assess.

But like I have a neurological disability that literally interprets your bad smell as being in physical pain. Imagine a gun going off next to your ear, or being blasted with a bright light (both of which are legally classified as torture to/by even NT people) but the sensation is in your nose. You don't have the right to cause me physical pain while I share a space with you, and if you smell bad in public that is what you are doing.

If you have not showered in a few days and cant bring yourself to shower, wash your ass/armpits at the sink with a wash cloth or spray yourself with some Febreze at the very least. Like I get it I really do I have periods where I also struggle to shower but it is summer, if you are going to be in public you need to have showered within the past 12 hours (preferably within the past 3-6, and applied deodorant). If you work out or preform a strenuous activity that makes you sweat you need to shower, and change out of your sweaty clothes and into fresh ones, and not bring those clothes into public again until you have washed them.

But like yes homeless people/people who dont have access to a shower exist (i was one) and sometimes there is no getting around going in public and i do NOT think the solution is to expel people who smell bad from public spaces because there are some situations where people really don't have access to showers (I think the solution is to provide free mental healthcare and house the homeless so that people can live their best most dignified least obstructive lives possible)

I guess some practical solutions to this would be like I said housing the homeless or at least making public free shower stations commonplace so they can stay clean. Sensory hours which do not permit BO or perfumes at places like supermarkets and banks. Compassionate loved ones supporting your mentally ill friend to take a shower and treating it like the accomplishment that it is (I literally needed to implement a sticker chart to get myself to shower after my last mental breakdown, find what works).

Like don't get it twisted for one second I do not want disenfranchised people to feel unwelcome in public spaces and making them feel unwelcome does no good we need to actually solve the solution on why their presence is obstructive in a shared space. But that doesn't change the fact that most of the bad-smelling people i have to share spaces with during the summer are people like gross NT hippies or gym people like I said I understand that sometimes things get bad and you shouldn't be scorned for it but your loved ones should also not be letting you let your self care spiral out of control. Ive had periods of depression where I struggled to shower myself like I said I get it but at least 70% of people who offend me with their smell during the summer months are athletes and hippies.

I also have strong feelings about not defecating in public bathrooms unless it is a dire emergency.

But this guy with a gym outfit on smelled SO BAD in the bank today i almost left and came back when he was gone if i hadn't already waited on line 5 minutes before he came in. Also worth noting that this problem is like 85% male. Like bring a change of clothes and use the free shower there it isnt that hard for gods sake WASH YOUR BALLS.

But once again let me make very clear that Im not saying ostracize people who struggle with or do not have access to hygiene from public spaces and the solution is providing these people with hygiene and dignity but it is rude af and literally causes physical pain for people like me when you have the option and choose not to like smelling bad is one of the most passively inconsiderate things you could do if you have the choice to not smell bad with a small amount of inconvenience.

Not trying to start a grand discourse or anything just mad that this asshole sent me into bitch mode for the night by smelling bad at the bank because my mood since has been rancid.

Do you know how to wash the sol badguy plushie without fucking him up 😭😭

Well... It uh... depends on what you got on him??

Some of the parts are glued on so whatever you do DON'T put him in anything hotter than warm water. I found a guide ( thespruce.com/how-to-clean-stuffed-toys-2146217 )that said you can wash delicate stuffed toys by putting them inside a mesh bag or a pillowcase with a zipper and then washing it on the gentle/delicate cycle in cold water using a little bit of your regular detergent. I get the impression that whatever would work for cleaning a delicate/expensive bra would probably work for the Sol plushie too.

So, pretty much what this guide says. Washing it just by itself inside the bag/pillowcase will help keep colors from other clothing from bleeding into it too.

If you're worried about using the washing machine, the guide also mentions hand washing it in a sink using cold water and fabric detergent by gently squeezing the soap through the doll. Don't wring it out. The guide says this for spot-cleaning:

Start with a white cloth. Do not use a colored cloth which can cause the color to transfer. Dip the cloth in a solution of one teaspoon gentle detergent and one cup of plain cool water. Blot at the stains and keep moving to a clean area of the cloth as the stains are transferred.

For drying the guide says to roll him inside a thick, white, towel and then lay him flat or hang to dry. Hanging would likely be faster but the material the Sol doll is made out of is kind of soft/ delicate. Maybe try making two loops to put under his armpits, tie the strings at the top, and then tie that to a hanger or drying rack/pole? You could try the dryer but since the Sol plushie has glued parts I wouldn't risk it even on no/low heat.

If whatever you got on the Sol plushie is odorous the guide has something that could help:

If the item is a little ripe, slightly dusty, or lightly soiled, place it in a resealable bag and sprinkle with baking soda or cornstarch and shake vigorously. The dry materials will absorb any grease, odor, and dust. Remove the toy from the bag and take it outside to shake it out or vacuum carefully using an upholstery brush.

There's some other stuff in the guide I linked that would be worth reading beforehand but these are the important highlights.

Good luck! Please let me know how it goes.

Death's Head: Animal Skulls in Witchcraft & Spirit work by Blake Malliway (book review)

Book's Published Summary:

"This book contains a unique blend of folklore and hands-on Witchcraft, all centered around the use of animal skulls. Contained herein are the manifestations of the author's own personal style of Witchcraft as well as methods for magically finding a skull, ways of purifying the skull, and instructions on how to imbue the skull with spirit presence for the purpose of divination, insight, and other acts of magic. Also included are rituals for the physical manifestation of the spirit and instructions for petitioning magical favors by the way of spirit intervention. The Witch seeking a stronger, more intense connection with the spirit world will find good use of the rituals and methods given"-Blake Malliway

My initial thoughts:

traditional witch with reference page/suggested reading which is always a good sign in my book (no references = sus)

96 pages and very small, makes it a quick read and a good reference book for those on the go 3"x5"

First page is "make sure what your doing is legal as local laws vary for this stuff" which is also a good sign as witches should take responsibility for their own actions

11 Chapters plus preface

Review:

This book, unlike other witchcraft books, stands alone by itself. While I have been practicing for a long time and love to do research on multiple fields of witchcraft, outside of hoodoo and voodoo I have rarely seen mentions of using skulls in one's practice. This was extremally disappointing while growing up as I have collected skulls from the nature around me since I was 6 and have always considered them an essential part of my craft as they tie back to the land I work on. In comes Death's Head, a book that solves this problem. Throughout this book Blake Malliway goes over how he weaves skulls into his own practice, which I find similar to my own. With that in mind, I may be a bit biased for that reason, so please keep that in mind while reading this review. If you have a book you'd like me to write another review about/analyze, message me or send something into my ask box. With that, lets get into it.

In the beginning of the book, it's made clear this isn't the only way to work with bones of any kind. That I personally find a very good sign. No one person (or witch) knows everything. If a book you are reading claims this is the only way, I (as a lover of books) would throw it in the dumpster. There is no one way for our practices, but thousands upon thousands formed by witches of yesterday and today. Back to the book though, another thing that is made clear early on is the skull itself is a house for a spirit, so for those looking into spirit work itself but not/are unable to get a skull, it's still a good read.

My one major complaint though is chapter 2/3 of this book: Finding the skull and The purification of the skull. As someone who has collected bones for most of his life I can tell you one thing. Flesh or no flesh: bones smell. This is since while living, bones have grease attached to them. This grease caused a fowl odor as it sinks into the bones during decomposition, even with no flesh. To clean these, I have left some links below which directions. In my personal experience, I look for bones with no flesh or dried up cartilage I can remove. Once the cartilage is gone, I soak the bone(s) in a solution of 50% water and 50% hydrogen peroxide. This will clean any germs and smells, just make sure to leave the lid cracked if you have one. And whatever you do, don't use bleach. While this will whiten the bones, it will also eat them. Along with that though, there also isn't many tips for finding bones outside a ritual. While rituals can help, so can knowing where to look. I would highly recommend researching this, as it varies from landscape. For example, I usually look behind the dunes of a beach or along the highest seaweed line. I have good luck in these spots as the ocean will leave bones here and/or animals will take them to these spots to eat. With that in mind, be careful of the wildlife around you. I live in an area full of coyotes that come out around dusk, so keep stuff like that in mind when hunting (aka research the dangers of the area your in. Also bring a knife, those dried out tendons are no joke).

The rituals themselves are stepped in traditional witchcraft from the Cornish region of England, which is where a lot of modern traditional witchcraft comes from. The author acknowledges this and you can also see this in references & suggested reading page. Some I instantly recognized were Traditional Witchcraft: A Cornish Book of Ways (Gary.G) and Treading the mill: Workings in traditional witchcraft (Morgan. L). One thing I always like is multiple perspectives, which this book more than delivers on. I sense no bias at all, unlike the lack of bone hunting knowledge.

Overall, I would highly recommend this book to any intermediate witch looking to learn more/break into spirit work and bring the nature around them into their practice. A 5/5 in my opinion

Weekly Cleaning Toronto: A Comprehensive Guide to Keeping Your Home Spotless

Welcome to our comprehensive guide on weekly cleaning in Toronto! Keeping your home clean and tidy is not just about aesthetics; it also promotes a healthy and stress-free living environment. Whether you're a busy professional, a full-time parent, or someone who simply wants to maintain a clean abode, this article will be your go-to resource.

Toronto, a bustling metropolis, has unique cleaning challenges due to its diverse weather conditions and urban lifestyle. However, with the right approach and effective cleaning strategies, you can tackle any mess that comes your way. In this guide, we'll cover everything from room-by-room cleaning tips to eco-friendly solutions and expert advice to make your weekly cleaning routine a breeze.

Weekly Cleaning Toronto: The Basics

Before diving into the specifics, let's understand the fundamentals of weekly cleaning in Toronto. The key to a successful cleaning routine is consistency and efficiency. By breaking down your tasks into manageable chunks, you'll avoid feeling overwhelmed and maintain a cleaner home all week long.

Living Room Cleaning

An emergency plumber is needed if you notice any of the following symptoms

Most people think of a plumber only in the event of a crisis. Yet, you can avoid many potential disasters with sufficient forethought and precaution. Being proactive is watching for possible warning signals of impending trouble. Whenever that happens, call a Plumber in Costa Mesa. Here are warning indicators to look out for that could prevent a catastrophe:

Gurgling Sound:

There may be an issue brewing if you hear a gurgling noise whenever you flush the toilet, shower, run the dishwasher, or do the laundry. If the sound continues even when no one is using the bathroom, it could signify a more serious problem. When the water pipes in your home are straining to locate air, you'll hear a gurgling noise, and eventually, the water will back up into your home. At this time, you have to contact Plumber in Costa Mesa.

Assuming a Gas Smell:

Don't ignore the smell of gas if it occurs in any room of your home while conducting any work. The noxious odor could result from a gas leak that combines natural gas with a scent. The gas company and the plumber should be called promptly. Meanwhile, turn off the power to the house and unplug everything that could create a spark that could set off the gas leak from the pipes. A Costa Mesa Plumber will help you with this situation.

Pipes Leaking Water:

You may leak your pipes if you hear water flowing in the toilet or pipes when no one is using them. Wet or brown patches on the walls, ceiling, and floor are another water damage indicator. The area will be warm if the leak is in the supply lines for hot water. Turn off the furnace and see if the meter keeps going. Call a skilled plumber before the problem develops.

Water Pressure That Is Lower:

If your water pressure is low, it may be because sediment has built up in your faucet's aerator, which may be easily cleaned by unscrewing it. If that doesn't fix the problem, it could signify a systemic leak, broken or degraded pipes, or a waterline. DIY solutions often worsen matters in the long run, so it's best to involve an expert. The Plumber in Costa Mesa had little trouble repairing it.

Issues with Drainage:

Instead of risking more damage to the pipes by trying to fix a clogged line or slow-draining sink on your own, it is best to call a Costa Mesa Plumber for assistance.

Garbage Smell:

If you notice a sudden stench similar to rotten eggs, it could result from a clogged drain or vent. It's not just annoying, but it might also be hazardous to the environment and people's health if this situation persists. In addition, it will weaken the structure of your home. At this point, a Costa Mesa plumber should be called in.

Damaged, Frost-Covered Pipes:

If you notice any clanking sounds or a lack of running water in the winter, your pipes are likely frozen. It's critical to call a plumber in Costa Mesa right away before the pipes crack or explode. Let your faucets trickle slowly if you don't want frozen pipes this winter.

Conclusion:

A homeowner may face a wide variety of plumbing crises, and any one of them could result in costly repairs. Recognizing these warnings can help you avoid needless plumbing repairs. Like you, most individuals do not budget for plumbing-related costs. Get in touch with a Plumber in Costa Mesa is often the last thing on someone's mind until it's too late.

Say Goodbye To Clogged Drains This Summer

Pipe Cleaning

Summer is a good time of the year to take care of your pipe cleaning needs. Letting blocked drains fester can lead to disastrous results; toilet overflows, water damage to your walls and even flooding. Taking the time to properly inspect and maintain your pipes can save you a lot of money in the long run. Start by making sure that the pipes in your home are thoroughly cleaned and vacuumed out from time to time. This will help prevent sediment buildup, which can lead to clogged drains.

Another way to keep your pipes clean is to use a preventive solution. If you live in a home where your pipes are subjected to a high amount of sediment, then a preventive solution like a highly concentrated citric acid mixture can help keep your pipes free from build-up. The citric acid solution should be applied periodically to help maintain the cleanliness of your pipes.

Plumbing Maintenance

In addition to pipe cleaning and preventive solutions, you should also be sure to perform regular maintenance on your home's plumbing system. This can include checking for leaky joints, testing the water pressure and inspecting the drain lines.

Checking for leaky joints should be done on a regular basis. Even if you don't see any signs of a leak, you should at least check for small spots or streaks because these can indicate a weak seal in your plumbing system.

Testing the water pressure in your home can help you identify any problems in the plumbing system. Low water pressure can be a sign that there is something clogging up the system. You can use a pressure gauge to check the pressure and if it's low, then you may need to have the pipes inspected or contact a licensed plumber.

Inspecting the drain lines is also important. You should check the bathtubs and showers at least once a month to ensure that the drain pipes are clear. A plunger or a plumbing snake might also be necessary to help clear out any clogs that have built up in the pipes.

Blocked Drains

One of the most common plumbing problems that arise during the summer months is blocked drains. If a clog is present in the drain line, the first thing to do is to try to clear the clog yourself with a plunger. If this doesn't work, then you should call a plumber to help you clear the clog.

If the clog is present in the main drain line, you may need to contact a professional plumber to take care of the issue. In some cases, professional drain cleaning services are necessary in order to keep the problem from coming back again.

If you notice any signs of a clogged drain such as bad odors, slow drainage, gurgling sounds, or standing water in the sink then you should take steps to clear the clog as quickly as possible before it causes further damage.

Say goodbye to clogged drains this summer by taking the time to properly maintain your pipes and drains. Regular pipe cleaning and preventive solutions can help keep your pipes and drains functioning properly. Additionally, getting your drains checked periodically can help diagnose any potential problems before they become bigger issues. Don't wait too long to address any blockages or clogged drains, as they can cause costly damage to your home.

Find a plumber

Not from today, many people associate a plumber with an elderly man who repairs pipes under the sink and performs other small work related to similar matters. Well, nothing could be more wrong, because in recent years it has become a profession much more popular among young people. This is mainly due to the increasing salaries and the relatively high demand for this type of professionals.

Over the last several years, a plumber has changed its character as a profession. One of the reasons is certainly the development of hydraulic systems that were previously only made of steel. Now we have copper and plastic pipes. Due to the fact that the entire market of hydraulic systems is being modernized in general, the existing tools, which are used by professionals, are also subject to such changes.

Characteristics of the tools of a modern plumber A few years ago, the most popular tool was the threader, thanks to which it was possible to connect subsequent elements. Today it has been replaced with special couplings and a pipe welding machine. The joints made in this case are created by delicately melting the joined layers. As long as the plumber does the job well, there is no chance of any leaks.

A specialized crimping tool is also often used for the assembly of Pex-Al-Pex systems. Here, in turn, a special fitting is used, into which the pipe is inserted and then pressed.

It is also worth mentioning the systems built of copper pipes. They are more expensive than those mentioned above, but they are perfect for central heating. In this case, connections are made by soldering and it is quite laborious.

However, we have only mentioned modern methods of assembling pipes and heating installations. So let's move on to other services that a plumber deals with, and these are the ones you most know of most.

Clogged pipes after failure - Find a plumber This is one of the most common breakdowns a plumber is called for. It's easy to recognize that we need his services, because if something is wrong, you will surely notice clogged drains in the house and water remaining in the bathtub or sink that refuses to run down the drain. In addition, we are then dealing with a very unpleasant odor. This is when the best solution is to call professionals, because you may not be able to cope on your own. This is because without experience it will be difficult for you to find the cause of the entire failure and remove it effectively.

Plumbing services usually include unblocking clogged pipes, repairing leaking taps or installing central heating systems. Of course, with many situations, e.g. a dripping tap, you can deal with it yourself. If, on the other hand, a failure is too much for us, it is definitely better to hire professional plumbing services, which, thanks to the use of modern tools, will deal with it at an express pace.

Don't Wait Until It's an Emergency: Early Signs You Need Trenchless Sewer Repair

Sewer line issues can sneak up on you, transforming from minor inconveniences into full-blown emergencies. The key to avoiding the stress and expense of a plumbing crisis is early detection and prompt repair. This is where trenchless sewer repair comes in as a lifesaver. By recognizing the early warning signs, you can address problems before they escalate, saving time, money, and hassle.

Subtle Signs of Sewer Line Problems

1. Slow Drains: One of the first indicators of a sewer line issue is slow drains. If your sinks

and tubs are taking longer to empty, it could be a sign of a blockage or buildup within your sewer lines. This problem often starts small but can escalate quickly if left untreated.

2. Gurgling Sounds: Hearing unusual gurgling noises from your toilets or drains when you flush or run water is another red flag. These sounds typically indicate air trapped in the pipes due to a blockage, which can eventually lead to more severe sewer line damage.

3. Foul Odors: A persistent, unpleasant smell coming from your drains or around your property can signify a sewer line problem. Foul odors are often a result of sewage not properly draining away, which can indicate a crack or blockage in your sewer line.

4. Lush Patches of Grass: While it may seem like a positive sign, overly green or lush patches in your yard can indicate a leaking sewer line. Sewage acts as a fertilizer, so areas where the line is damaged might see more vigorous plant growth.

5. Frequent Backups: If you’re experiencing frequent backups in your home, particularly in the lowest points like basements or ground-floor drains, it’s likely due to a sewer line issue. Consistent backups are often a clear sign that something is obstructing the flow of wastewater.

Why Early Detection is Crucial

Addressing these issues early on allows you to take advantage of trenchless sewer repair, a modern and efficient solution. Traditional sewer repair methods can be invasive and time-consuming, often requiring extensive digging that disrupts your yard and daily life. In contrast, trenchless sewer repair involves minimal digging, making it a quicker, cleaner, and more cost-effective option.

Benefits of Trenchless Sewer Repair

Minimal Disruption: Trenchless methods typically require only small access points, preserving your landscaping and hardscaping.

Cost-Effective: With less labor and fewer materials required, trenchless repairs can be more affordable than traditional methods.

Faster Completion: The process is generally quicker, meaning your sewer system is back up and running in less time.

Durability: Trenchless repairs use advanced materials that are resistant to corrosion and root intrusion, ensuring a long-lasting solution.

Utilize Normal Remedies If you choose a more eco-friendly approach, consider utilizing organic remedies to unblock your drain.

Emergency Plumbers Consider installing drain strainers or displays in your sinks, showers, and tubs. These take action as a barrier against debris, stopping clogs from developing in the first place. Additionally, regular inspections and occasional maintenance by plumbing professionals may help detect any potential issues and take care of them before they become main complications. 7.

Professional clogged drain services in Cedar Park offer several advantages over DIY methods. These include specialized equipment, expertise in diagnosing and resolving complex clogs, and the ability to provide long-term solutions that prevent future blockages.

The Process of Clogged Drain Service:

Customer Satisfaction Guarantee:

A reputable clogged drain service will stand behind its work and offer a customer satisfaction guarantee. This provides peace of mind knowing that if the problem persists or reoccurs shortly after service, the company will return to resolve it at no additional cost.

Preventing Future Clogs:

Regular Maintenance:

Schedule regular drain maintenance appointments to keep your plumbing system in optimal condition. Professional drain cleaning can help prevent clogs and ensure proper drainage throughout your home.

Avoiding Common Culprits:

Take proactive steps to prevent common causes of clogs, such as avoiding pouring grease down the drain, using drain strainers to catch hair and debris, and disposing of food scraps properly.

Educating Household Members:

Educate household members about proper drain maintenance practices to minimize the risk of clogs. Simple habits such as running hot water after each use and refraining from flushing non-flushable items can help keep drains clear.

Conclusion:

In Cedar Park, where the energy of urban living meets the tranquility of suburban neighborhoods, maintaining clear and functional drains is essential for a comfortable lifestyle. By understanding the causes of clogs, recognizing the signs of drain blockages, and enlisting the help of professional clogged drain services, homeowners can ensure efficient resolution of drainage issues and prevent future clogs.
