Cleaning various places in the home can take several hours. One of the least enjoyable rooms to scrub is the kitchen and bathroom. If you want to speed up their cleaning, learn the homemade and simple way to quickly clean pipes. You'll forget about a clogged sink.

How to deal with a clogged sink?

If you've ever dealt with a clogged sink, you know it's not easy. Sometimes it can cause so many problems that the only solution is to call a plumber. As we know, we should be careful not to throw food scraps, vegetable peels, or tea grounds into the sink every day. However, this is not enough.

The sink and pipes should be cleaned regularly. A quick way to help with this is using a dishwasher pod. Fill a cup halfway with hot water and drop a dishwasher pod into it. Once it dissolves, pour the solution into the sink and wait about 10 minutes. After this time, flush everything with warm water. To make the trick as effective as possible, the solution should be poured into the sink every two weeks.

Trick for unclogging pipes

If you don't have a dishwasher pod at home and need to unclog the pipes quickly, you can also use the baking soda method. Simply pour one full cup of baking soda into the drain and one cup of vinegar over it. The vinegar and soda will kill harmful microorganisms and eliminate unpleasant odours. Cover the drain with a plate to allow the mixture to work. Finally, flush thoroughly.
