A natural chemical solution which, by reacting gently but effectively , will guarantee that your blockages are released and eliminated in an instant … Curious? Let’s get started!
6 things you should NEVER throw down the sink!
First of all, it is worth remembering what should NEVER be thrown down the sink, even accidentally:
- Coffee grounds: Although it is commonly believed that they can clean drains, they actually cause serious problems because they compact and form a solid clog.
- Eggshells : Fragments eventually stick to other fragments, forming tangles that are difficult to remove with running water.
- Apple core: Fruit stems and plant filaments, although biodegradable, do not slide down pipes, but accumulate in terrible clumps.
- Animal and vegetable fats: leftovers of chicken, pork, rabbit, fat and nerves solidify, preventing the passage of water. Cheese, frying oil and leftover grease are major pollutants and harmful to the health of fish and the waters in which they end up at the end of the ascent.
- Flour : does not dissolve in liquids, on the contrary, it thickens inexorably, forming stubborn obstructions.
- Hair and Hair : Even shaving your hair, and not just your hair, is dangerous because it gets tangled in thicker and thicker tangles.
Unblocking the sink: the foolproof solution.
Here’s what to do if, despite your best efforts, your sink is clogged.
Take:
- coarse salt, 150 g
- sodium bicarbonate , 100g
- white vinegar, 100 ml
- boiling water, 500 ml.
You must add all the ingredients one by one, there is no need to mix them.
In a saucepan, heat the water and let it boil , then turn off the gas and set aside. Remove the pop-up and completely fill the well with coarse salt. Wait for it to settle in the pipes and add all the baking soda.
Use a spoon to check that the salt is evenly distributed . Both should always be visible and protruding from the well. Now pour in the white vinegar , a powerful chemical reaction will occur which will produce an effervescent foam . Let it evaporate completely, then add the water which will now be just hot, without boiling to avoid thermal shock at the joints. Wait for it to enter the pipes dissolving the salt, which in turn will capture the dirt and remove it permanently. If the sink isn’t completely clean the first time, repeat the process until it’s completely clear… And breathe a long sigh of relief! Still works! Guaranteed!
