Anyone with a holiday home or a second apartment knows the pattern. You open up for the weekend and everything is spotless. You come back a fortnight later to a stench in the basement, the bathroom and the garage. The traps dry out while the place is empty. Green Drain™ is a solution you install once and forget for five years.
A holiday house on the coast, a let apartment in the city, a basement flat, a garage with a floor drain — everyone knows the smell that greets them on the way back in.
Ireland has a substantial self-catering and short-let estate, alongside a deep stock of holiday homes along the Wild Atlantic Way, Ancient East and Greater Dublin commuter belt. Hosts on Booking, Airbnb and Vrbo deal with the same seasonal pattern — properties closed mid-week or mid-season, P-traps dried out, and a one-star review about the smell on the first day back.
