If the water in the sink or bathtub does not drain, it means that there is a blockage in the pipes and it is time to get rid of it urgently.

Why doesn't the water drain from the sink

The sink can become clogged when food particles from dirty plates and other small debris gradually accumulate and form a plug that prevents water from going down the drain.

How to clean a kitchen drain

The most effective way to clean a drain is to use baking soda and vinegar.

You can also use baking powder instead of baking soda.

Take 150 ml of table vinegar, 150 g of baking soda.

Pour baking soda into the drain hole, followed by vinegar.

Cover the drain with a stopper or rag and wait 20-30 minutes.

Then rinse it with high pressure of hot water.

What can be used as a plunger

Try using a medical bulb or a rubber ball instead of a plunger.

If it is a pear, cut off the spout (we make a small hole in the ball) and apply the hole to the drain.

Alternately, pressing and releasing, we try to remove the blockage from the pipe.

A plastic bottle is quite suitable for replacing a plunger.

We previously talked about how cleaning has a positive effect on mental health.
