If you constantly deal with clogged drains, you know it is very unpleasant. Commercial products can help, but they cost a considerable amount of money. So the next time your drain is clogged, we recommend you try this method. It is no less effective and much cheaper. It works on the same principle.
Solve the situation as soon as possible
A gradual slowing of the water drain or a sudden stoppage of water flow is a common problem in many households. Many products are available in stores to help you clean the bathroom drain. However, the tool we now present works faster and better without damaging the pipes.
Clean the trap
Many people claim they can manage without any special solutions. The only thing you need to do is clean the trap. However, this task has several disadvantages. The first is that it is not so easy to access the trap. You have to lie on the floor and know what to loosen. Another, even more unpleasant drawback is that you will have to remove all the hair and grease with your own hands. You will often encounter a very unpleasant odor. Afterwards you need to flush the trap with a stream of hot water.
Home remedy to remove a clogged drain
Try preparing a homemade mixture that will save you from cleaning the trap entirely. Pour 3 tablespoons of baking soda into the drain. It must fall directly into the drain – it’s better to fold a sheet of paper and make a funnel. Then slowly pour 300 ml of vinegar into the drain. It will start to sizzle inside. A few minutes after the fizzing stops, flush the drain with hot water – at least three liters.
Disadvantages of this method
- It is not very pleasant to inhale the smell of vinegar.
- All the ingredients need to be prepared in advance.
Advantages of the method
- A quick process that takes no more than 5 minutes.
- Clean hands, no contact.
- Cleaning does not damage the pipes.
- Much gentler than commercial products for cleaning clogged drains.
