Any sink can become clogged at the most inopportune moment, but every experienced housewife should be prepared for such situations.

Since a good plumber is unlikely to show up at your door at the first request, you need to know about independent methods for solving the problematic situation.

Often, the mechanical method of dealing with blockages is especially emphasized. Yes, it can be called the most effective without exaggeration, but not everyone has the necessary tools at hand.

In this case, it is worth paying attention to the classics - we are talking about soda and vinegar.

How to use them correctly

The first thing you need to do is remove water from the sink, if there is any, to "clear" access to the drain. Then immediately take a pack of soda and open it.

We generously carry out drain treatment.

As a rule, it can take up to half of the total volume of powder.

Next, measure out one hundred ml of vinegar and pour it into the soda after about five minutes. A special reaction should occur. It is better to cover the drain with something at this stage.

After the hissing stops, open the hot water tap and begin flushing the pipes.
