So, what are you waiting for?
Here are some of the top DIY methods that can remove the clogging issues at
your home forever!
Soap and Hot water
Boil about two liters of water
and mix in a few tablespoons of liquid dish soap. Take this mixture and slowly
pour down the sink.
This method may take a few tries,
but it will work great on grease clogs because it is heating the grease back to
a liquid so it can travel all the way out of the pipe.
Use cloth hanger
Straighten the hanger out but
leave the hook. Make sure you have a grocery bag or something to discard your
findings.
Use the hook end of the hanger to
fish in the drain and pull up any food or hair buildup that is clogging the
passageway in the pipe. After removing as much as you possibly can, run hot
water down the sink.
Baking soda and vinegar
Clear the area around your sink and put a 1/2
cup of baking soda down the drain. Follow that with a 1/2 cup of vinegar. Now
plug your drain and let it sit for an hour.
Then, unplug the drain and pour a
pot of boiling water down it. Continue pouring boiling water down the drain
until it is clear.
Salt and vinegar
Start with 1/4 cup of salt, 1/4
cup of Borax, and then a 1/2 cup of vinegar. Add a pot of boiling water and let
it sit for at least an hour or until it clears. Finally, rinse with hot tap
water to clear all ingredients down the drain.
Baking soda and salt
Mix salt and baking soda together.
About a 1/2 cup of each and pour down the drain. Let it sit for a minimum of a
half hour or as long as overnight. Once it has a significant time, clear it
with a pot of boiling water.
Use a plunger
This tactic is mainly for the
kitchen sink. Food gets stuck at the curve of the drain under the sink where
it's hard to reach with a hook, so try a plunger to clear it. First, empty your
sink of any dishes or rags. Fill the sink halfway with warm tap water and
plunge away. Plumbers in west Hills CA recommend
rubber plunger.
So, these are some of the DIY
methods from it items available in your kitchen that can help you unclog the
drain without having to spend a single penny.
