➤ Step 1: Undo the sink trap with a bowl ready to catch any water.

➤ Step 2: Remove debris and wash the trap with clean water and an old toothbrush.

➤ Step 3: Replace the trap

CLEAR STOPPED-UP TOILETS

➤ If flush water rises to the rim and then drains slowly, the toilet trap or drain is blocked.

➤ Step 1: Pull a section of the snake out of the drum

➤ Step 2: Tighten the retaining nut on top of the snake body

➤ Step 3: Rotate the drum of the snake so it burrows into the waste system to dislodge the blockage.

FIX WEAK WATER PRESSURE IN THE SHOWER

➤ Reduced shower flow is usually due to limescale buildup. This can easily be removed with a descaling product.

➤ Step 1: Unscrew the shower head from the hose

➤ Step 2: Unscrew the spray plate and immerse it in descaling solution.

➤ Step 3: Leave it in the solution for specified length of time. Flush any remaining scale from the pipes before replacing the shower head.
