How Removing Hair with a Hanger?

/in /by


Bend a wire hanger into a straight line, leaving a small hook at one end. Use your hands to bend a wire hanger as flat and straight as you can. Grip one end of the hanger and make a small curl—small enough so it can fit into the drain and, if applicable, through the strainer below the drain stopper. You may need to wear work gloves to give you some traction.


Don’t worry if there are a few slight bends in the hanger, just try to get the center part it as straight as you can so it can fit down into the drain. Create a half-square-shaped handle on one end of the hanger. Bend one end of the hanger into a shape that looks like half of a square (or the big dipper). Make a total of 4 90-degree angle bends in the following order: the first to the right, the second upwards, the third to the left, and a final one back upwards.


This end will act as a twisting handle. Remove the drain stopper with your hands or a screwdriver. Insert the tip of a screwdriver into the head of each screw and twist to the left to loosen them. Set the free screws someplace away from the open drain (like the bathroom floor) so there’s no risk of them falling in. Cover the holes with tape if you’re worried about accidentally dropping the small screws down the drain.


If you have a shower and tub combination, you might be able to take out the stopper by pushing it down and twisting it to the left. Insert the long end of the tool down into the drain. Place your right hand on the handle that you made and use your left hand to guide the long end down into the drain. Insert it as far as it will go or until the bottom of the handle is 4 inches (10 cm) to 6 inches (15 cm) above the drain opening.


Turn the tool clockwise while moving it up and down for 1 minute. Hold the tool by the handle with your right hand and use your left hand to rotate the top end in a circular motion. Push and pull the tool up and down into the drain as you twist it around. Moving the tool up and down will help the curled end of the wire collect as much hair as possible. Do this for up to 60 seconds or until you feel that the tool isn’t meeting any resistance from grime and hair.

How Adding the Finishing Touches?

Stain and finish your wood. First, smooth the board’s surfaces and edges with sandpaper and then clean away any sawdust. Then apply stain to match the color of your bathroom’s other wooden features, if desired. Once it dries, add a coat of wood finish (or, to make things simpler, use an all-in-one stain and finish mix to eliminate a step).


Skip the stain if you want to, but definitely seal the wood with a finish to protect it from moisture. Steam from your bath may warp unprotected wood over time. Use a rag or brush to apply either one. When you do, brush or rub with the board’s grain, not against it. Allow the stain to dry overnight before adding finish. Do the same after adding the finish before proceeding to the next step.


Wear protective gloves when using stains and finishes. Also, use a drop cloth or similar material to protect surfaces in your work area. Add handles. Attach handles to the top of the tray, if desired, for easy transport. Use cupboard pulls or any other type of handle that suits your taste. Follow their directions for installation, since each type of hardware may have its own specific instructions.


However, bear in mind: Cupboards pulls as well as other forms of handles may require you to screw through the bottom of the tray, rather than the top. If so, expect the screw heads to project out of the bottom once they are screwed in. Even if you use flatheads, this may result in the screw heads scratching the rim of your tub.


To avoid this, create a pilot hole by attaching a countersink bit to your screw gun. This will cut both a pilot hole for the screw as well as a slight divot in the wood’s surface that will fit the screw head. Attach grippers. Minimize the chance of your tray slipping off the tub’s rim due to moisture and anything else that may make it slippery, like bath oils.

How Preparing the Shower for Tiles?

Gut the shower stall down to the studs. You may need to remove the shower pan and ceiling, as well. Do not put down any plastic because this can trap moisture and lead to rotting. Instead, use a product that you can paint on to help prevent moisture.


Choose a vapor barrier to install and introduce according to manufacturer directions. If you fail to install a vapor barrier, you might grow mold and mildew as moisture from your shower escapes through the tiles and into walls. Improperly installed tile and grout can allow water vapor to pass into the space behind.


When installing a vapor barrier on an exterior wall, it may be helpful to seal a plastic vapor barrier to the concrete floor but not all the way up to the top of the ceiling. With insulation improperly installed, or in colder climates, there’s a chance that condensation that forms behind the vapor barrier will cause the framing members to rot.


In order to avoid that possibility, install the vapor barrier with space to spare so that the gap behind the vapor barrier can breathe. Use a roll on product, such as Red Guard. Wedi boards are another option some consider even better than cement board. If you choose a membranous barrier such as Trugard or Kerdi, you can install plain old drywall or you can just install a cement board instead.


Put up a sturdy cement board backer. Putting up cement board is just like putting up drywall. You cut it to fit using a grinder with a diamond bit, and then screw it to the studs. Leave a 1/8″ gap between panels and then a very small space between the shower pan and the bottom of the backer so that the two don’t squeak by rubbing together.

The diversity of colors makes the characteristics of the whole space immediately reflect, and the cobblestone intermingled with the floor. It plays a good role in space division. Dark bathroom furniture and half face coloured wall with light floor and shower room, each functional area of the space is very clear distinction. A hard – style bathroom space. The shower room is separated by half wall, and the warm yellow light on it becomes the only bright color in the whole space. There is an embedded shelf space in the next corner, so there is no need to worry about the reception.

It is not only a place for people to go to the toilet, but also a place for people to clean the body, so it needs more attention when the function area is decorated. Due to the consideration of aesthetics and geomantic omen, many people will make the washroom door into a secret door. What are the kinds of toilet doors and design skills?

Sliding doors, such doors have no door frame, no door locks and door locks and so on hardware, so people call it invisible door. In order to integrate the door with the wall, many people will design the door to be a push door, the wooden push door open is the sanitary, which not only saves space, but also ensures the beauty of the bedroom.

At the same time, in order to avoid the water vapour to the bedroom in the bedroom, the design of the dark door is also adopted. The design of the door is the same as the bedroom background wall. It is not only simple and fashionable, creative, but also able to form a whole with the surrounding environment, and the sense of space is more unified.

It is very important to do wet and dry separation in the bathroom. The effect of the glass partition is much better than the shower curtain, but the glass of the bathroom must be selected for the special toughened glass. There are many inferior glass in the market, and the temperature may explode at a high temperature. If kitchen and bathroom space is not large, it is not recommended to use dark tones, so it is easy to feel depressed. It is suggested to choose a neutral color such as gray. Don’t choose too much white. There is a skill for bathroom tiles, that is, wall pressing technology. This method can make the seam between the wall and the ground in a plane state, and the washroom will have a gradient, so even if the ground has water, it will flow to the ground leak with the slope, and will not produce too much water.

Stunned! Small bathrooms can also make “big articles”

/in /by

In modern family life, with the increasing demand for all kinds of supplies, we often find that the house is filled with full things. Sometimes the wardrobe that is already full, or the closet that is not connected to the door. There is a great sense of collapse. Space utilization and storage become a university question.

The bathroom is one of the most frequent activities of people’s daily activities. A comfortable and clean bathroom is the embodiment and symbol of people’s high quality life. Most people can not get into the kitchen for a day, but they will never get into the bathroom accessories for a day, and more and more modern urbanite who pay more attention to the quality of life will not compromise to small areas. In the small bathroom, do some “big articles” and let your mood and bathroom be refreshed.

There are not enough space in washroom can not tolerate “drastic reform”, then hang a shelf above the washbasin. Simple settings can complete the storage of basic items, and the access is also very convenient. Using the space underneath the basin to make daily necessities storage, the washstand table can be made into an open drawer storage, to storage towel, bath towel, wash gargle, and skin care product. It has good air permeability, also can be a display space. With open form wash basin design, it’s easy to use nearby space. The simple bathroom accessories rack are installed around the platform cabinet, not only making it become personalized, but also convenient for indoor storage. A simple storage rack can help you solve many problems and hang up a towel for easy access. Small space can also have such a washroom, equipped with shower room, and a large circular massage bathtub, enjoying the dripping and refreshed under the sprinkler.

Small size bathroom space should avoid using too wide flume to waste unnecessary space. The toilet doesn’t have to be in the middle of the wall. It can be used at the corner of both walls. Wall-Hang bathroom cabinet will provide a good helper for storing functions. They will not occupy the floor space, but also provide a beautiful and generous bathroom.

There are many ways of accommodating in bathroom. Apart from furniture, simple storage is often more prominent. The collection frame of the iron art is placed in the corner of the wall to make use of the indoor dead angle reasonably, and a layer of one layer can hang up the small objects such as towels and toilet paper, and the ability of collecting and receiving is very considerable. The exquisite hardware storage rack, practical and creative design, will not only occupy the floor space, but also bring the icing effect to the whole sanitary space. In a simple design with grace and classicism, you can enjoy the experience of “aristocratic” like when you wash away the fatigue of a day in your bathroom.

Glass door is a common dry and wet separation technique in modern space. The traditional dark partition will make the space which is not big enough to look smaller. As a result, whether the bathroom day-lighting is good is particularly important. Using frosted glass as partition wall can make the light flow freely and increase the sense of transparency. It is a good way to expand the visual effect.

Although the bathroom will be exposed to enough natural light, it is suggested that a bright light device be installed to replace a part of the lighting device. Bright light can eliminate any shadow corner in the bathroom that can make the space smaller. Also you must remember to install a large mirror, it will make bathroom space unexpected results.

The decoration must be known: the bathroom waterproof process and precautions

/in /by

The bathroom is the most humid place in the house. To prevent the seepage of the sanitary room wall and the ground is the problem we need to consider. BARANA brings detailed bathroom waterproof process and points for attention to show you. If there is any doubt about this, you must be sure to look at it carefully.

Brush the first waterproof coating: ensure that the construction site is clean and dry before construction. The waterproof coating should be covered with no omission. It is firmly combined with the base, without cracks, no bubbles and no shedding. The brush height is uniform and the thickness must meet the bathroom space requirements. Brush second times: pay attention to brush the first and second times waterproof paint need to have a certain time interval. After the first coating is dried, it can be carried out for second times. The specific time depends on the coating. The interval is too short, and the effect of waterproofing will be greatly reduced.

Protective coating for bathroom: to prevent the subsequent construction from damaging the waterproof layer, we need to lay a protective layer on the surface of the waterproof coating. The protective layer should be fully covered with waterproof layer. It is firmly combined with the base, no cracks, no bubbles and no shedding.
Bathroom closed water test: when the closed water test, the waterline at the highest point of the ground should not be lower than 2cm. Preservation for at least 24 hours. There is no leakage is observed. If there is leakage, it needs to be redone. This is very important and can not be ignored.

Bathroom treatment and cleaning at the grass-roots level, making leveling layer, bonding layer, detail additional layer, acrylic waterproof layer, water storage test, protective layer construction, and two water storage test.
Ensure that the bathroom floor is relatively stable: if you need to replace the floor tiles of the bathroom, after the original ceramic tiles are chipped away, First of all, we should use cement mortar to make the ground flat (especially the newly renovated house), and then do the waterproof treatment. Do this in that way can avoid leakage of waterproof coating due to uneven thickness or puncture of waterproofing membrane.

The joints should be brushed in place: the joints between the walls of the toilet and the ground and the joints between the upper and lower pipes and the ground are the most likely problems. Therefore, we must pay special attention to these parts. We must be careful in dealing with them. You can’t have the slightest carelessness in this bathroom space.
Wall processing is also very important: in order to achieve better waterproof effect, the general bathroom on the wall also should do about 30cm high waterproof treatment to prevent water accumulation to penetrate the wall. The wall adjacent to the bathtub is also higher than the height of the bathroom bathtub. The shower room is to reach the height of 180cm.

Waterproof test can not be omitted: after the waterproof construction is completed, all the sewers of the toilet should be blocked up for water injection test. After 24 hours of inspection, if there is no leakage on the walls and floors of the shower, the waterproof quality of the toilet is very good. On the other hand, we should find out the leakage and carry out maintenance. This step is especially important and can’t be ignored.
Keep the water flowing unobstructed: all the sewer pipes in the bathroom, including floor drain and sanitary pipes, must be kept unobstructed.

This is not the difference between the basin, but the difference in installation. The platform is called the platform basin, and the basin is completely sunken under the table.

The bathroom cabinet can be divided into natural stone, artificial stone, fireproof board, baking varnish, glass, metal and solid wood. The substrate is the main body of the bathroom cabinets, which is concealed by the surface material. Substrate is the deciding factor of bathroom cabinet quality and price. During handling, light lifting should be carried out rather than dragging hard. When placed, the ground is not flat, and the legs should be padded.

The faucet is the popular name of the water valve, which is used to control the size switch of water flow, and has the effect of saving water. The regeneration rate of the faucet is very fast, from the old cast iron technology to the electroplating knob, and also to the stainless steel single – temperature single – controlled faucet, the stainless steel double – temperature double – control faucet and the kitchen semi – automatic faucet.

The shower room takes full advantage of the indoor corner and clears the shower area with fences to form a relatively independent bathing space. The flower sprinkler was originally a device for watering flowers, potted plants and other plants. Later, some people converted it into a shower, making it a common device in the bathroom. The installation height of flower sprinkler can be divided into two types according to the type of shower: invisible installation and external installation.

Bathroom hardware accessories, refers to the hanging wall type metal products installed in the bathroom for hanging clothes. For example, towel rack, towel bar, hanger hook and so on. It can be broadly divided into copper, zinc alloy, aluminum alloy, stainless steel and so on. Ground leakage is an important interface to connect the drainage pipe system and the indoor ground. As an important part of the drainage system in the house, its performance directly affects the quality of indoor air, and it is very important for the control of the odor in the bathroom.

The modern style bathroom space appears to be relatively simple and fashionable, bringing a sense of leisure and comfort to modern life. Less complicated solid wood combination cabinets, combined with the whole bathroom style, dominate the modern simple atmosphere of the whole bathroom space.

Traditional European style, full of classic mixed bath style, thick rural pastoral flavor of the traditional European classic classic classic, through historical precipitation, the humanities and nature of the fusion of a breath, people fascinated. The dark coloured bath cabinet is precisely this kind of precipitation, the charm which one kind of style sends out.
