Introduction:
A clogged sink is one of the most common household issues, and it often happens when you least expect it. While commercial drain cleaners can be harsh on pipes and the environment, there’s an easy, natural, and effective method to clear your clogged sink without resorting to chemicals. With just a few common household ingredients, you can restore the flow in your sink in no time. In this article, we’ll share a simple and natural approach that can save you money, time, and the hassle of harsh chemical cleaners.
Ingredients:
Baking soda (1/2 cup)
White vinegar (1 cup)
Hot water (2-3 cups)
A rubber plunger (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Sink:
Start by removing any standing water in the sink. If the water level is high, you can use a small cup or container to scoop it out. This will allow the ingredients to work more effectively on the clog.
2. Add Baking Soda:
Pour 1/2 cup of baking soda directly into the drain. Baking soda is a natural abrasive that helps break down grease, soap scum, and other debris that might be contributing to the blockage.
3. Pour Vinegar:
Slowly pour 1 cup of white vinegar into the drain over the baking soda. The mixture will fizz and bubble, which is the reaction that helps to loosen the debris in the pipes. Allow this fizzing action to continue for about 10–15 minutes.
