It is unpleasant when the sink gets clogged. In this case, the water drains slowly. In addition, an unpleasant smell appears.
In such a situation, many housewives use special means for cleaning pipes.
But what if you don’t have bottles with such liquids at hand?
There is no need to run to the store and spend a lot of money! After all, there are probably simpler means at home that will cope with blockages no worse than expensive "chemistry".

If the housewife wants to deal with the blockage faster, then she needs to act differently.
There is no need to send bulk products down the drain. You need to prepare a solution based on them. In other words, salt and soda must be dissolved in water.
The resulting liquid should be poured into the drain hole. In this case, the effect will be achieved after a quarter of an hour. But do not forget to additionally flush the drain using a high-temperature liquid.
