Unblocktober – Save our Sewers and Seas

Unblocktober holds significant importance when it comes to promoting clean, hygienic washrooms. At B Hygienic Washroom Services, we’re excited to shed light on this initiative introduced by Lanes Group and share how you can participate.

What Is Unblocktober?

Unblocktober is an annual campaign that runs throughout October, dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of maintaining clear and clog-free sewage systems.

Why Unblocktober Matters

Protecting the Environment: Unblocktober underscores the critical link between what goes down our drains and its impact on our environment. When sewage systems become blocked due to non-flushable items like wet wipes, it can lead to sewage spills and contamination of waterways. By participating in Unblocktober, you’re contributing to cleaner and safer environments for all.

Cost Savings: Blocked pipes and sewage backups can result in expensive repair bills and inconvenience. By practicing good drain and toilet hygiene during Unblocktober, you can potentially save money in the long run.
Public Health: Maintaining hygienic washrooms is crucial for public health. Clogged sewage systems can lead to unsanitary conditions and the spread of diseases. Unblocktober encourages everyone to play their part in ensuring clean and functional washrooms.

How You Can Participate

Participating in Unblocktober is easy and can make a significant impact. Here are some steps you can take:

Educate: Learn about what should and shouldn’t be flushed down the toilet or poured down the sink. Educate your family, friends, and colleagues about these guidelines.

Choose the Right Products: Opt for biodegradable and septic-safe toiletries, such as toilet paper, to reduce the risk of blockages.

Install Filters and Traps: Consider installing drain screens, hair catchers, and grease traps to prevent debris and substances from entering your sewage system.

Regular Maintenance: Schedule regular maintenance and inspections of your plumbing and sewage systems to detect and address potential issues early.

Promote Unblocktober: Spread the word about Unblocktober on social media and within your community to raise awareness and encourage others to participate #UnblocktoberSewerSavers

Unblocktober serves as a reminder of the collective responsibility we have in maintaining clean and hygienic washrooms. By participating in this annual campaign, you can contribute to the protection of our environment, save on plumbing costs, and ensure better public health.
