Brought to you by Richmond Plumbing & Sanitaryware: Your Durban plumbing dudes!
Halloween is all about the jol, spooky costumes, and maybe a few too many sweets. But let’s be real, nobody wants actual horror stories happening in their bathroom. We’re talking blocked drains, overflowing toilets, and leaking taps – the kind of nightmares that would give even a tokoloshe the chills.
Luckily, your mates at Richmond Plumbing & Sanitaryware are here to help you avoid any plumbing dramas this Halloween. Just follow these easy-peasy tips and tricks to keep your bathroom spooky, not scary:
Watch Out for Little Monsters (and Their Toys!)
Kids love to flush things down the loo. It’s like a magic whirlpool, just begging for trouble! But sweetie wrappers, fake eyeballs, and even that zombie doll that lost its head can turn your plumbing into a real mess. Keep an eye on the laaities (and maybe those cheeky adults too) and make sure the only thing going down the drain is what’s meant to.
Pro Tip: A strategically placed, Halloween-themed bin can work wonders!
Don’t Let Your Drains Turn into a Haunted Vlei
From face paint to fake blood, Halloween makeup can clog your drains quicker than you can say “sweets!” Before you transform into a werewolf or a vampire, wipe off as much makeup as you can with a tissue. Then, use a drain catcher to catch any leftover gunk.
Pro Tip: A quick rinse with hot water after each use can help stop your drains from becoming a crime scene.
No Tricks, Just Treats for Your Toilet
Halloween parties often mean extra guests and extra…well, you know. Remind your mates (and maybe yourself after that last piece of candy corn) to be lekker to your toilet. Flushing anything other than toilet paper can lead to a proper fright – a blocked toilet that’s overflowing with, shall we say, kak.
Pro Tip: Keep a plunger nearby, just in case. (And maybe a spare toilet brush…you know, for those really scary situations.)
Don’t Get Caught in a Cold Shower
A cold shower on Halloween night? Now that’s a real horror story! With everyone getting dolled up for parties and trick-or-treating, your geyser might be working overtime. Make sure it’s up to the job by checking for any leaks or funny noises.
Pro Tip: If your geyser is giving you grief, call the experts at Richmond Plumbing & Sanitaryware before things get really bad.
Light the Way to a Safe Bathroom
Dim lighting and spooky decorations can set the mood for Halloween, but they can also be a recipe for accidents. Make sure your bathroom is well-lit to avoid trips, slips, and bumps in the night.
Pro Tip: Chuck in some fun, Halloween-themed nightlights to keep things safe and festive.
