If your triggers have some simple way of identifying them in a query on 
pg_trigger, the function below can be altered to easily enable or disable them.

create or replace function enable_link_clean_triggers(p_enable boolean)
returns void as $$
declare
        v_action text;
        v_sql text;
        v_tg record;
begin
        if p_enable then
                v_action = ' ENABLE TRIGGER ';
        else
                v_action = ' DISABLE TRIGGER ';
        end if;
        for v_tg in select tgrelid, tgname from pg_trigger where tgname ~ 
'^tg_link_clean_.+' loop
                v_sql = 'ALTER TABLE ' || v_tg.tgrelid::regclass::text || 
v_action || v_tg.tgname || ';';
                execute v_sql;
        end loop;
        return;
end;
