Unclog your sink in just a few minutes: the foolproof and eco-friendly method
Unblocking the sink, whether in the bathroom or kitchen, is a common nightmare! Grime builds up in the drain and clogs the pipes, forming a thick plug that blocks the flow of water.
Don’t resort to chemical solutions that corrode your pipes! Don’t waste money buying them first and then having a plumber intervene to repair the damage later!
Even improvising like a handyman, reaching under the sink with wrenches, screwdrivers, and pliers, can’t be considered a winning solution—no need to disassemble or open the pipes! And don’t worry, you won’t need suction cups. In short, we’ll reveal a truly foolproof method to overcome the problem, without getting involved, without even having to face the horrifying sight of the dirt coming to the surface…
A natural chemical solution that, by reacting gently but effectively , will ensure your clogs are free and clear in no time … Curious? Let’s get started!
6 things you should NEVER throw down the sink!
First of all, it is worth remembering what you should NEVER put down the sink drain, not even accidentally:
- Coffee grounds: While there is a common belief that they can clean pipes, they actually cause serious problems because they compact into a solid plug.
- Eggshells : The fragments end up stuck to other fragments, forming tangles that are difficult to remove with running water.
- Apple core: Fruit stems and plant filaments, although biodegradable, do not slide down the drains, but instead accumulate in terrible clumps.
- Animal and vegetable fats: Leftover chicken, pork, rabbit, fat, and sinew solidify, preventing water from passing through. Cheese, frying oils, and leftover fat are major pollutants and harmful to the health of fish and the waters they end up in at the end of their career.
- Flour : It does not dissolve in liquids, on the contrary, it thickens inexorably, forming stubborn obstructions.
- Hair and hair : even shaving your hair, not just your hair, is dangerous because it gets tangled in increasingly cumbersome tangles.
Unclogging the sink: the foolproof solution.
Here’s how to proceed if, despite your best efforts, your sink is blocked.
Get:
- coarse salt, 150 g
- baking soda , 100 g
- white vinegar, 100ml
- boiling water, 500 ml.
All ingredients should be added one at a time, you won’t have to mix them.
In a saucepan, heat the water to a boil, then turn off the heat and set aside. Remove the pop-up and fill the well completely with coarse salt. Wait for it to settle along the pipes, then add all the baking soda.
Use a spoon to check that it’s evenly distributed over the salt . Both should still be visible and sticking out of the well. Now pour in the white vinegar ; a powerful chemical reaction will occur , producing an effervescent foam . Let it evaporate completely, then add the water, which should now be just hot, not boiling, to avoid thermal shock in the joints. Wait for it to penetrate the pipes, dissolving the salt, which will then capture the dirt and eliminate it permanently. If the sink isn’t completely clean on the first try, repeat the process until it’s completely free… and breathe a long sigh of relief! It ALWAYS works! Guaranteed!
