Brilio.net - Bathroom holes can be clogged due to the accumulation of dirt that blocks the flow of water in the drain. The main causes include hair that falls out while bathing, soap residue, toothpaste, and shampoo residue or other body care products that stick to the pipe walls.
If not cleaned regularly, all this dirt will harden and block the flow of water. In addition, foreign objects such as tissues, sanitary napkins, or plastic thrown into the drain can also cause blockages.
Drains that are rarely cleaned and do not have filters also accelerate blockages, because dirt can more easily enter and accumulate in the pipes.
