With Valentine’s day right around the corner, it’s important to show yourself some love! Single or taken, you deserve time to take care of yourself. But is your self-care routine damaging your home’s plumbing?
Taking a relaxing bath with bath bombs and bath oils might seem like a great idea, but it’s not a smart choice when it comes to looking after your home's plumbing. Unfortunately, bath bombs and oils can wreak havoc on your pipes - particularly if they are older or of poor quality.
One issue with bath bombs is they tend to break apart easily and don't dissolve completely, so they can get stuck in your piping system. Bath oils aren’t much better as when combined with cold water, they solidify, which can cause them to coat your pipes from the inside, making them more susceptible to getting clogged or even burst Breaks. Therefore, if you want to ensure a good working plumbing system in your home for years to come, it is best to remove bath bombs and oils from your routine.
Rather than using conventional bath bombs and oils that can create quite a mess and leave behind potentially harmful residues, try using oil diffusers instead. Plug in the diffuser, which will naturally spread an invigorating aroma in your bathroom without any extra cleanup.
Alternatively, Epsom salts are also a great alternative as they dissolve more quickly and won't cause clogs like oils or bombs. These alternatives provide all the same calming benefits without you having to worry if they’re harming your home’s plumbing.
