If you are faced with a clogged drain, whether in the toilet, bathtub or sink, it is important to act quickly. Leaving the plug as it is risks making your bathroom completely unlivable in addition to giving off bad odors. Before calling on unblocking specialists, there are certain simple techniques you can implement to unblock your blockages yourself. Here are some methods to help you unclog your pipes.
1 – BAKING SODA
Baking soda works wonders at home. It is one of the natural ingredients to have in your cupboards for a healthy and eco-friendly household. It is particularly effective for unblocking a sink, sink or shower. To do this, mix 100 g of baking soda with boiling water and pour the preparation into the blocked pipe. Leave it on for several hours, or even overnight if it is very clogged.
2 – POUR BOILING WATER
To avoid having a clogged sink, coffee grounds can prove to be a real ally. Here is the recipe:
Place 1 tablespoon of coffee grounds in the sink drain.
Add hot water for one or two minutes.
Repeat the operation every day.
The coffee grounds will prevent grease from accumulating in the duct and will also eliminate bad odors.
