Shut Your Trap: The Best Choice For Dry Drain Problems?
What is Shut Your Trap?
Shut Your Trap is a long-lasting chemical designed to combat dry drains, which often lead to sewer odors entering occupied spaces like offices or commercial buildings. Many drains, such as those found in storage rooms, vacant apartments, or unused bathrooms, have a P-trap that’s supposed to hold water to prevent odors from coming back up the pipes. However, when drains go unused, the water in the P-trap evaporates, allowing gases to rise.
Shut Your Trap works by forming a slow-evaporating layer over the drain water, blocking the odors from rising. This layer acts like a blanket, preventing bad smells and reducing the need for frequent water refills in the drains. The product also has a Wintergreen scent to neutralize any existing odors and leave a fresher smell.
Who is Shut Your Trap a Good Fit For?
This product is perfect for facilities with drains that don’t get used often, such as in floor drains, storage rooms, or vacant spaces. It is also useful in commercial buildings, including office spaces, schools, apartments, and hotels, where unused drains can often dry out. By applying Shut Your Trap, facilities can prevent odors from building up and affecting the comfort of employees, tenants, or visitors. Additionally, this product is beneficial for facilities that face long periods of inactivity in specific rooms, such as seasonal businesses or vacant properties.
Who is Shut Your Trap not a Good Fit For?
Shut Your Trap is not a solution for all types of drain problems. For example, if your facility's drains are actively used or frequently maintained, you may not face the problem of dry drains or the odors that come with them. In these cases, a different drain maintenance product would be more appropriate. Additionally, if the source of the odor is something other than a dry drain, Shut Your Trap won’t be an effective solution.
When and Why Do I Need Shut Your Trap?
The need for Shut Your Trap arises when drains are left unused for long periods, causing the water in the P-trap to evaporate. This leaves the drains vulnerable to sewer gases and allows drain flies and cockroaches easy access to the facility. Facilities should apply Shut Your Trap before odors or pests start to become an issue. If the problem already persists, you can still utilize Shut Your Trap to help resolve dry drains and eliminate the odors.
How Do I Use Shut Your Trap?
Shut Your Trap is simple to use. Depending on the size of the drain, you should add 4 to 6 ounces of the product to the drain trap to create an effective odor-blocking layer. You will need to reapply the product as necessary when the protective layer is no longer visible, or when odors start to re-emerge. Its slow evaporation rate allows for longer periods between reapplications.
Conclusion
Shut Your Trap is a practical and preventative measure for facilities with unused drains that face odor problems. By addressing the issue before it becomes severe, you can maintain a clean, fresh-smelling environment for employees and guests alike.
