Why Salt is Exceptionally Effective in Piping
Salt acts at several levels: it dislodges food and other debris that can accumulate in pipes, preventing plugs before they form. In addition, its natural bactericidal action neutralizes odors by decomposing the organic elements which are often the source thereof. This double action makes the salt particularly suitable for cleaning wetlands, such as shower siphons, where the conditions are conducive to the development of moulds and bacteria.
How to Optimize Salt Use for Your Pipelines
To maximise the effectiveness of salt in cleaning pipes, follow these practical tips:
Mix the salt with hot water to help dissolve accumulations of grease and other residues.
Add white vinegar to the mixture for an effervescent reaction that will help to clear the obstructions.
Repeat the treatment regularly, ideally once a month, to keep the pipes in good condition and prevent future build-ups.
