Blockages are a fairly common problem.

Some people, for various reasons, have to deal with it almost every week.

Pipes can become clogged due to improper plumbing, foreign objects getting in, or dirt and grease building up inside.

If you're tired of picking up a plunger and buying up bottles of drain cleaners in the household chemicals department, you might want to take advantage of an unusual life hack.

It turns out that you can avoid such trouble with the help of a very ordinary iron sponge.

All you have to do is send it down the drain.

Once here, this “accessory”, which is usually used for washing dishes and other kitchen utensils, will become an insurmountable obstacle in the path of fat, hair, wool and other contaminants that every now and then try to penetrate the sewer drain.

To avoid this trick from costing you a fortune, use old sponges that you don't mind throwing away. And, of course, don't forget to change them from time to time.
