Vinegar, baking soda and salt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.santeplusmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/astuce-de-genie-pour-des-vitres-sans-traces-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-316479\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, try this radical way to unclog your sinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Take 1\/2 cup of baking soda and 1\/4 cup of salt.&nbsp;Mix them and pour them into the sink.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Heat the vinegar until it boils and pour the previous ingredients.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quickly plug the drain to prevent the resulting foam from overflowing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wait 15 to 30 minutes.&nbsp;Finally, rinse everything with plenty of hot water.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A little tip: before applying the products, slowly pour very hot water into your sink, which will help soften food debris and dirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-vinaigre-blanc-et-bicarbonate-de-soude\">2. White vinegar and baking soda<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">White vinegar&nbsp;&nbsp;and baking soda are powerful antioxidants with excellent degreasing and stain removing properties.&nbsp;They are highly recommended when solving the problem of clogged drains.&nbsp;Very effective, fast and economical, this method was the immediate solution that our grandmothers used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pour boiling water down the drain.&nbsp;In this case, you can apply a large amount of this mixture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then add a cup of baking soda and let it sit for a few minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mix boiling water and vinegar in a bowl and add baking soda on top.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cover the drain.&nbsp;You can use a stopper, plunger, or anything else.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pour another glass of hot water.&nbsp;Then rinse everything.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-sel-et-eau-bouillante\">3. Salt and boiling water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.santeplusmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sel-22.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-334494\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Salt is often recommended to clean the pipe from the inside: it effectively eliminates bacteria and bad odors.&nbsp;The boiling water will help dissolve everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The salt\/boiling water duo is the gentlest option for cleaning your pipes.&nbsp;Since this method is not as powerful as the previous ones, you can reapply it repeatedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Take half a cup of salt and pour it down the sink.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take a kettle with boiling water and pour the\u00a0\u00a0salt\u00a0\u00a0into it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Turn off the hot water to the faucet and rinse the sink more thoroughly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repeat if necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-un-morceau-de-papier\">4. A sheet of paper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have hair and&nbsp;&nbsp;product residue in your pipes, we still have an unknown solution: you can take a piece of paper, cut it and place it in the sink.&nbsp;Move it up and down and side to side.&nbsp;You&#8217;ll notice dirt starting to build up on the angled piece below so you can remove it from the pipes.&nbsp;It&#8217;s surprising, but it works!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-cintre-en-metal\">5. Metal hanger<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.santeplusmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/cintre-en-metal.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-334495\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for paper, a metal hanger will work too!&nbsp;Take a pair of pliers and bend the hanger so it is straight.&nbsp;Leave a slight curve at the end, make a small hook.&nbsp;This trick will be useful for unclogging kitchen and bathroom sinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-utiliser-une-ventouse\">6. Use a suction cup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, the least expensive and most widespread solution for unclogging sinks is none other than the plunger.<br>If you have one at home, you don&#8217;t have to worry about buying other products.<br>Does your sink have two parts?&nbsp;You just have to cover one of the drains.&nbsp;Then place the plunger in the second hole, turn on the faucet, and fill the sink with water until it covers the plunger.<br>Use all your strength to suck in, repeat 6 to 10 times, then remove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the water drains smoothly, you have successfully unclogged it.&nbsp;If not, repeat the process several times.&nbsp;Once you&#8217;ve unblocked the sink, pour hot water to clean the pipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Obviously, if none of these remedies work and your sinks are still clogged, there must be a real deep plumbing problem.&nbsp;In this case, it is best to quickly call a professional.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The sink is one of the appliances that accumulates the most germs.&nbsp;In fact, a clogged kitchen or bathroom sink is one of the most common and annoying problems that can occur.&nbsp;Then we tend to panic and immediately think of contacting a plumber.
