DIY- Unclog Your Own Sink with Natural Ingredients

Unclog The Sink with Natural Ingredients

It’s easier than you think to unclog the sink using natural ingredients!

Unclog The Sink

-To unclog the sink, look no further than your pantry because here is a very effective way to unclog sinks using vinegar, baking soda and water.

Step 1- Put about 3/4 cup DRY baking soda down the drain.

Step 2 – Pour 1/2 cup of vinegar down the sink after the baking soda. Be sure to cover the drain immediately afterward with a rag or plug, filling the hole completely so nothing can escape. This is because the interaction of the two will cause a “mini volcano” that will want to come up, you want to keep it down there.

Step 3 – Leave this concoction in the drain for about 30 minutes. While you’re waiting, boil about a gallon of water.

Step 4 - After 30 minutes, remove the plug and slowly pour the HOT water down the drain.

According to Planet Green you can also use a plunger to unclog a drain. The plunger creates suction and forces open the clog. In most cases, this device is your go-to guy when it comes to clearing small clogs. Many clogs are caused by hairs on the stopper. If this is the case, remove the stopper and clean it off.

If the plunger fails to unclog, you can remove the U-bend pipe below your faucet. see Planet Green for a full explanation on how to do it.
