So how do you unclog a clogged sink?
In our grandparents’ time, there were no chemicals to clear a blockage , so 4 tablespoons of salt, 4 tablespoons of baking soda and boiling water were used to remove it. By placing everything directly in the sink, the blockage will be cleared in just a few minutes . Alternatively, you can pour the boiling water used to cook the potatoes down the drain.
Another method is to boil a litre of vinegar and pour it directly into the blocked drain, or a tablespoon of salt first and a glass of vinegar afterwards. But these are not the only methods. In fact, you can also add a tablespoon of salt, a tablespoon of baking soda and 2 tablespoons of vinegar to boiling water in the same order. Everything will be free in a few minutes (this is usually used for difficult blockages).
Even for hard-to-clean sinks, there is an alternative : just pour a tablespoon of salt, a tablespoon of baking soda and 2 tablespoons of vinegar with boiling water into a bowl. Wait for the chemical reaction of these elements to begin when frying and only then pour it into the pipe. If by chance you still haven’t gotten the desired result, then move on to this method: half a cup of salt, half a cup of baking soda and a quarter cup of tartaric acid.
Now let it sit for a few hours and then turn on the water, the drain will probably now be free of the obstruction.
