Why does the floor drain smell bad? How to deal with it?

Lead: Floor drain is a tool that we often use and see in our daily life. It is installed at the entrance of each sewer to prevent large debris from entering the sewer and blocking the sewer. Installing a floor drain at the entrance of the sewer can effectively prevent the sewer from clogging. However, in the process of use, everyone has encountered the problem of the odor of the toilet floor drain, which will make the room have a very unpleasant smell. Next, Mr. Bian Xiao introduced in detail the causes and solutions of the odor of the bathroom floor drain.

Why does the bathroom floor drain smell?

1. Defects of traditional water-sealed floor drain

The water-sealed floor drain itself has some defects. Even if the height of the water seal reaches more than 50mm, the floor drain will still smell. After a few days or even ten days, the water seal will still smell, and because the water channel is long and narrow, curved and the attached area of stolen goods increases, a large number of bacteria and pests will breed after a long time.

2. The floor drain is unqualified

There are two ways to deodorize floor drain in the market, one is the traditional water seal deodorization, and the other is the new self-sealing deodorization. The national standard stipulates that the height of water seal is 50mm, but the water seal height of floor drain produced by many manufacturers is only 10-20 mm, which is only 20-40 mm of the national standard, and it can't play the role of deodorization at all. So it is not surprising that the floor drain has an odor.

3. Defects of self-sealing floor drain

Both of the above are water-sealed floor drains, so will the self-sealing floor drain have an odor? The answer is yes. At present, most self-sealing floor drains on the market are mechanical self-sealing floor drains. Due to the limitation of the current technology, this product is prone to various failures, which will inevitably lead to poor sealing and odor of the floor drain.

4, caused by the spread of germs

Due to environmental pollution and bacterial spread, the floor drain stinks. The sewer pipe is dark and humid for a long time, and it is a pipe for discharging sewage. Naturally, it is easy to breed a large number of germs. Over time, the water seal could not be sealed, and finally spread indoors, posing a great threat to the health of family members.

How to deal with the odor in the bathroom floor drain?

1, cover the floor drain

The floor drain can be covered with a wet towel or a plastic bag filled with waste gas to prevent the smell and germs of the floor drain from spreading indoors. Or you can find a better plastic bag, fill it with water, fasten it, put it on the floor drain, take it away when you use it, and plug it when you don't use it. You can also buy a rubber plug from the hardware store and plug it in when not in use.

2. Keep the water in the floor drain changed in time.

Fill the floor drain with water in time, keep the water seal in the floor drain and replace it frequently.

3. Replace the floor drain

Although self-sealing floor drain is the inevitable trend of future floor drain development, its deodorization effect is not as stable as water-sealed floor drain, so try to choose water-sealed floor drain.

4, often clean the floor drain and deodorizer.

Cleaning the floor drain regularly and putting some tea bags, incense and bamboo charcoal in the bathroom can also effectively remove the odor.

Conclusion: Through the introduction of Bian Xiao above, I believe that everyone has a certain understanding of the causes and solutions of the odor of the bathroom floor drain. Floor drain is the most commonly used tool in our daily life, which effectively solves the problem of sewer blockage, but the problem of odor in bathroom floor drain is also very serious. Everyone should fully understand the solution to the odor of toilet floor drain, so as to solve this problem. I hope that through the above introduction, we can help you understand the causes and solutions of the odor in the bathroom floor drain.
