How to De-clog a Sink
The kitchen sink in my house, specifically its waste disposal and drain, is notoriously finicky. A more fitting term would be to brand it as a high-maintenance drama queen! I’ve had a few run-ins with clogged pipes over time, so now I tread carefully about what goes down there. Items like rice, eggshell fragments, vegetable peels are all off-limits.
A Simple Way To Unclog A Sink
You’ll need:
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup baking soda
Drain plug
Boiling water
Directions:
Step 1 – Add Vinegar & Baking Soda
Pour the vinegar down the drain of your sink. Then sprinkle the baking soda into the drain, then quickly put the drain plug into the drain. Hold it in place until the fizzing has subsided.
Step 2 – Wait
After the fizzing has stopped, let the sink sit undisturbed for about 30 minutes.
Step 3 – Flush With Hot Water
After 30 minutes, bring a kettle or pot of water to a boil. Remove the drain plug from the sink and pour the boiling water into the drain. The hot water will help flush out any clogs, as well as the remaining baking soda and vinegar.
Your drain should be flowing freely!
