It often happens that the sink drain gets clogged and starts to give off an unpleasant odor, even if the kitchen or bathroom is perfectly clean.
The most logical thing to do is to call a specialist or use a chemical product that can unclog the clogged drain , but if neither option can be used, the method we suggest below will surely suit you.
Industrial sink drain cleaners are loaded with chemicals and toxic elements, which are harmful to both our health and the environment. Not to mention that their frequent use can cause permanent damage to the pipes, due to their abrasive action.
To unclog a clogged sink drain, simply:
- 120 grams of baking soda
- 120 ml of white vinegar
- 250ml of water
Pour the baking soda down the sink drain, heat the water and vinegar, bring to a boil, then let sit for a few minutes.
Pour the water and vinegar down the sink drain and wait for the effervescent reaction to finish. Leave for 15 minutes then rinse thoroughly with water.
The sink will be completely unclogged and the bad odors will be gone . In addition to removing food residue and unclogging the drain, vinegar and baking soda have a disinfectant action and are able to deodorize the drain .
