Why You Should Put a Ball of Foil in Your Sink: Preventing a Serious Problem
A clogged sink in the kitchen or bathroom is nothing new.
Well, if the blockage is not too serious, you will most likely be able to remove it on your own.
But, as a rule, everything turns out to be much worse, which makes calling a plumber inevitable.
To save your time, nerves and money, pay attention to preventing blockages: if you don’t let things get to the point of disaster, you won’t have to mess around with a plunger.
An effective measure is to use foil, a piece of which should be crumpled into a ball and placed in the sink drain.
The diameter of the ball should be equal to the hole for the water - this will help the foil retain the fat.
Accordingly, it will not be able to penetrate into the pipes and will not clog them.
There is just one catch: from time to time you will have to take the dirty lump out of the sink.
It is better to do this with gloves, because the process is not very pleasant. But you must agree that it is better than trying to remove a complex blockage.
