Baking soda

If the clog could not be rinsed with hot water, you can enhance its effect with baking soda. To do this, pour half a packet of the product into the drain. Then you can repeat the procedure with hot water. You can also pour a glass of vinegar in the baking soda - so the remedy will be even more powerful.
