Most blockages in pipes can be eliminated on your own using available tools.
Folk remedies are effective if the blockage is not serious. When the situation is complicated, it is necessary to use household chemicals or eliminate the problem mechanically.
Soda, vinegar and chlorine
An effective folk method. First, you need to remove the water in the sink or toilet, because it can worsen the cleaning result.
Baking soda and soda ash are poured into the drain - 50 g each. After 30 minutes, add chlorine and vinegar - 150 ml each. The drain is tightly sealed and after half an hour the drain is generously filled with hot water.
Household chemicals
When folk remedies prove powerless, it’s time to move on to more serious options.
1. Sodium hypochlorite is a chlorine-based chemical component that fights dirt, breaks down solid compounds, and disinfects surfaces.
2. Another option from the arsenal of household chemicals is surfactants (surface-active substances). Their key task is to destroy blockages and clean pipes.
