To prevent clogs, it’s recommended to clean your kitchen drain every 1 to 2 months. Regular cleaning helps remove food particles, grease, and soap buildup that can accumulate over time. You can use a mixture of hot water and baking soda, followed by vinegar, to naturally break down debris. For deeper cleaning, a drain snake or enzyme-based cleaner can help remove blockages. Regular maintenance not only prevents clogs but also keeps your plumbing system running smoothly and reduces the risk of larger issues requiring professional repairs.
