How is the smell at home when you are on vacation?
There is a pipe under every sink or drain in your house which is folded in U shape. It is called siphon or trap. There is always some water accumulated in it, this water prevents smelly gases from entering your house. But when you are not at home for several days, especially in summer, then this water slowly dries up. As soon as this water is over, the gases that were stopped in the pipe, directly enter your kitchen or bathroom. Then you return from the holiday and open the door and have to put your hand directly on the nose.
Now let’s talk about that easy jugaad which will save you from this smell. Before leaving the house, place a paper sheet in every sink of your kitchen and bathroom and fill a glass of water and keep it upside down. That is, keep the glass inverted and keep it on the paper. What will happen with this?
1. The paper will cover the sink and the glass will increase its weight.
3. Instead of drying the water slowly, the water will remain in it and the gases will not come up.
2. If you have a slow drain often, then get it fixed, because frozen garbage also causes smell.
4. You can clean the pipe by adding eco-friendly cleaners once a week or ten, it will not rotten the dirt inside.
Small steps can save you from great trouble. If you go on holidays, have fun openly and when you return, your house was also found. Now whenever you plan a holiday next time, try this glass and paper method.
