Place a bottle upside down the sink drain: a clever trick

by

The  sink water that refuses to drain, that annoying little gurgling sound that we ignore for too long… Until the day it just won’t go away. Before you pick up the phone to call a plumber, what if a simple  bottle of water could do the trick? Yes, you read that right: a  plastic bottle, a few everyday ingredients, and a little pressure. Strange, right?

A clogged sink: an everyday problem

Who hasn’t had this unpleasant surprise after doing the dishes? Stagnant water, the smell that rises… And often, we put off the obvious,  due to lack of time or immediate solution.  Fortunately, there is a little homemade trick,  as simple as it is effective , to give your pipes a fresh look,  without harsh chemicals or dismantling.

Salt: Your unexpected ally against traffic jams

Step one: head to the kitchen. Grab some  coarse salt , that good old cupboard companion. Pouring a  good handful (about 100g)  down the sink creates a gentle abrasive effect. It helps loosen grease and residue that slow down the flow of water. A bonus: combined with hot water,  it acts as a natural cleaner for your drains.

A touch of dishwashing liquid to dissolve grease

Next, pour in a  little dish soap . Why? Because it acts as a degreaser:  it breaks down grease, makes it more fluid, and limits its adhesion to the walls.  It’s a bit like adding soap to a greasy pan: everything comes off more easily.
