Does Urine Clog a Sink

Urine will not damage a sink. Urine does not clog the drain.

Is urine bad for pipes?

According to Billy Goldberg, MD — co-author of Let’s Play Doctor and a self-professed shower pee-er — urine is sterile, non-toxic, and can even help clear up a case of athlete’s foot. As for whether or not urine will damage the pipes below your shower drain, well, you have nothing to worry about.

How do I clean a sink after peeing?

  1. Toss a few teaspoons of baking soda down the drain.
  2. Follow it up with a cup of vinegar and this mixture should help loosen up congealed grease.
  3. Then pour a pot of hot water down the drain to wash it all away and you should be relieved of that foul smell.
