Another tip to keep your household healthy - your washing machine not only can store cleaning chemicals residue but also it can harbour bacteria, make sure it is put on a hot wash without soap regularly to reduce both.

My washing machine reminds me periodically to do this by giving me a hygiene warning light, which also prompts me to wash my towels, and linen which I do so on a hot wash.

Heat is the best way to remove soap residue and bacteria.

For those that don’t know the purpose of the trap is to prevent harmful gases from the sewer from entering the home environment. There should be a rubber seal around the base to prevent this from happening. There was a very strong smell being emitted from this drain. My customer has reported a much better nights sleep was had, and is feeling much better in themselves following sealing of the trap.

🆘If you or a relative have any unsused plumbing furniture, please make sure they are topped up regularly with water 🆘

Elderly are at risk as they often can not use baths/showers so their traps need to be topped up for them.

Pictured is a plumbing part known as a U-Bend, which was invented to prevent sewer/drain gas from entering the home environment.

Modern day belief is that it was/is to stop ‘smells’ which is totally wrong as sewer/drain gas has no odour in high concentrations, and like CO (carbon monoxide) it is a silent killer.

When plumbing waste traps dry out, they become an inlet for sewer/drain gas - both can be DEADLY.

*UPDATE - my lovely customer agrees (again) with PlumbNurse on the fact that having good clean ‘working’ indoor plumbing reduces stress, lifts the mood, promotes better restful sleep and reduces pain and stiffness 👍

Before and after plumbing update, it must have been at least 20 years old! This set up was extremely unhealthy, there was a lot of pipework above the waste trap caked in food debris, enough to give off high levels of methane gas. The two horizontal pipes with a cup trap made the flow very slow, this is not good for health. New set works much better!

Will wait to hear from my customer on health benefits 👍
