Drains
Drain cleaning is not usually part of our standard cleaning service. However, it is included in Selected Homes apartments, move-out cleanings, deep cleans, or when requested by a client.
For most jobs, we focus on cleaning the drain covers, removable parts and water traps (vandlås), rather than the drain pipes themselves.
01 / Sink Drains
How to Clean a Sink Drain
Disassemble: Carefully remove the sink stopper and any removable parts. Some may need to be unscrewed.
Clean: Scrub the stopper and removable parts using a suitable cleaning product and brush.
Remove Build-Up: Remove visible hair, grease and debris from the accessible drain area.
Reassemble: Put all parts back correctly and check that the drain works properly.
02 / Shower Drains
How to Clean a Shower Drain
Shower drains come in different designs, but the cleaning procedure is generally the same.
Disassemble: Carefully remove the drain cover and removable parts. Some may require a screwdriver.
Remove the Water Trap: Take out the removable water trap (vandlås), if accessible.
Remove Build-Up: Clear away hair, grease and other debris.
Clean: Thoroughly scrub the removable parts using a brush, sponge and suitable cleaning product.
Reassemble: Put everything back correctly and check that the water drains properly.
Pay special attention to the water trap, where hair and grease often accumulate.

03 / Drain Maintenance
Selected Homes Apartments
For Selected Homes apartments, we generally perform maintenance cleaning rather than dismantling and deep-cleaning the drains.
Follow the location-specific procedure and only use drain-cleaning products approved by Shyne.
Where a full drain clean is required:
Complete the regular drain cleaning procedure.
If needed, use a pipe-cleaning brush on accessible areas.
Flush the drain according to the approved maintenance instructions.
Important: Do not pour boiling water or use chemical drain cleaners unless the procedure has been confirmed as safe for the specific drain and pipe materials.
