Why You Should Consider Putting Epsom Salt In The Shower Drain
By BRENDA JUDE
To have a crisp, clean scent in your shower, pour Epsom salt down the drain to scrub away buildup in the pipes, break down gunk like hair or soap scum, and neutralize odors.
Epsom salt is a natural alternative to harsh chemical cleaners, making it a win-win for your home and the environment. Just don’t use too much salt or use it too frequently.
Gather 2 teaspoons of Epsom salt, hot water, and, if you like, a dash of your favorite essential oil for an extra burst of fragrance. Start by pouring hot water down the drain.
Add the salt and let it sit for a few minutes. Next, flush the drain with hot water to push the salt and any loosened debris down the pipes, leaving your drain clean and fresh.
