How to easily clean your kitchen or bathroom sink: unexpected but effective methods

Most owners face such a common problem as sewage clogging. This happens due to the accumulation of grease, food pieces, hair, soap, and other dirt. Not always aggressive chemicals can clean the sink, but on the contrary, they damage the surface.

OBOZ.UA has found effective methods that will help you cope with this. To do this, you will need the usual ingredients that are in every home.

Vinegar and soda

Vinegar and soda create a chemical reaction that dissolves hardened particles. Pour 2-3 tablespoons of baking soda into the pipe and pour a glass of vinegar over it. Cover the hole with a cloth or cork to trap the mixture in the pipe. Leave it for 10 minutes and rinse everything with hot water.

If you still see that the result is not good, repeat the procedure.

Magnesium sulfate

This is a salt of magnesium and sulfuric acid, which is widely used in medicine under the name "magnesia". You can buy the powder at a pharmacy or order it online.

To begin with, rinse the pipes well with hot water, then pour in a few tablespoons and you will notice that the salt will begin to fizz. When the reaction is over, flush everything out again with hot water. If the sewer is too clogged, use boiling water.

Clothes hangers

Hangers made of thin wires can help get rid of dirt in sewer pipes. This is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to clean a sink or shower drain. To do this, make a straight wire out of a coat hanger with a small hook to catch the debris. If the wire is too thick, use pliers.

Dip the wire into the pipe until you feel that you have hit the debris. Then try to hook it and pull it to the surface. Repeat this process until you have removed all the dirt. Then rinse the pipe with hot water.

Dishwashing detergent

This product will help loosen the grease in the pipe. Pour a small amount of the mixture down the drain and wait 5-10 minutes. Then rinse everything with hot water or boiling water. If the problem persists, repeat the procedure but leave the dishwashing detergent in for 10-15 minutes.

Soda

Choose a sweet soda that contains a lot of phosphoric acid. This is the compound that breaks down debris build-up and improves drainage. Use a drink at room temperature. You will need a two-liter bottle of water. Slowly pour the liquid down the pipe and leave it for 10-15 minutes. Then flush everything with hot water.

Yogurt

Yogurt is known for its probiotic properties and the theory is that healthy bacteria can break down organic matter that clogs the sewer. Pour additives-free yogurt down the drain and wait a few hours, or better do it overnight. This will allow bacteria to "eat away" the food debris. Rinse everything with hot water or boiling water.
