5 Really Easy Ways to Unclog Drains

It is a fact. At least once in your life, your sink will clog. Be it the bathroom sink or the kitchen sink, it happens.
When it happens in the kitchen, it's usually because of food, oil, and other residues that end up in the sink.
In the bathroom, the sink clogs mostly because of hair and other products that get stuck in the drain.
Most people opt for chemical solutions, but since we prefer natural things, we will show you 5 homemade solutions to safely unclog your sink:
1. Baking soda
2. Dish detergent
3. Coca-Cola
4. Salt
5. Clean the siphon
Easy, isn't it?
But, better than knowing how to unclog your sinks and drains, is preventing it from happening. See some tips to prevent it:
Avoid combing your hair during your bath or over the bathroom sink;
Remove all grease from cooking utensils with a napkin before washing them;
Never pour oil directly on the sink;
If you have pets, remove all their hair from clothes before washing them;
Last, but not least, always check beforehand if the draining is alright.
If you catch a problem right in the beginning, it will be easier to solve.

Baking soda is a chemical solution, so is vinegar, detergent or the acid added to Coke. There is no difference between these "natural" solutions and what you call "chemicals".

I have unclogged bathroom sink by using denture cleaning tablets. First you remove standing water. Next you put in several tablets and wait for a few minutes. Then you run hot water down drain

I own a plumbing business and we recommend lemon juice and boiling water for clogs.

[@michaelwashington2682]

What do you think will unclog a sink drain pipe that is far from the sink that is clogged with a big grease clog? I used a hose bladder but can't get close enough to the clog does this sound like I need to call a plumber?

[@1stGeorgiaGirl]

More natural than Coke.

[@yumicrofinance5310]

Is coke natural? Or I am mental?

[@julianascaccianoce9919]

To prevent clogs wipe grease off dishes& pots before rinsing, pour boiling water down. drain if it starts going down slow it works ,use plunger right after , fill the sink with water if you do this you won't need
those expensive plumbers

Vinegar and Hot water will clean out your Keurig or Tassimo. How frustrating is it when the Coffee Maker doesn't work when you NEED Coffee?

[@johnkeepin7527]

So there is something that can be done with Coca Cola! I often use soda crystals (sodium carbonate decahydrate) routinely to clean various drains like the ones you’ve shown, sometimes with boiling water.

[@elizabethrajan1813]

👌👌

[@QUICKBOOKS1]

Do NOT watch these while having Breakfast, Coffee, Lunch or Dinner.

[@danbasta3677]

The use of Coke is probably advantageous, as both Coke and Pepsi colas were originally designed to aid a person's upset stomach when they have indulged way to much in eating habits. They both have ended up in the soft drink market, however they still can be used in aiding the stomach when eating to much food.

The baking soda method actually clogged my drain more

[@yeshuaisthewaythetruthandt515]

I HAD TO KEEP POURING VINEGAR UNTIL ALL BAKING SODA MELT AWAY AND BUBBLES CLEAR UP

[@RajeshR-uw9er]

Hi it's Andria liked ur video but sometimes it doesn't work so I use small bucket of water mixed with two tbsps of liquid bleach every 2 days alternatively I hope it won't be too much trouble to add just 2 tbsps of liquid bleach and pour it slowly into the drain during the night before going to bed so it does take away clogs in a week and doesn't stink and no cockroaches or their eggs inside the pipelines I tried this long time ago it really works after that may be we can follow it with hot water and salt to maintain the drain clean and clear Hope you like it plz reply

[@elainebobier2923]

Try cornstarch it absorbs grease.

[@MikaApostol]

Baking Soda & White Vinegar is the best.😊😊😊

[@helenamcginty4920]

Caustic soda is as natural as salt aka sodium chloride. I use the bicarb and vinegar mix on my patio floor to clean after dogs have 'used' it. 😯

[@callummurray3044]

For homeowners who have cast iron sewers ( commonly used for U.S. homes until the advent of plastic ), hot salt water will rust and thin their pipes, aggravating ongoing deterioration from ground water. If your house was constructed, say in the 1960s, this may be the last thing you need.

[@LEXICON-DEVIL]

Thanks dude my house is that old.

[@philipwebb960]

Tricks... (2019)... No plumber?

[@hajibahadur4771]

I open the water tap and just put my palm(hand) in center of the sink. Start pumping with palm up and down speedily. This pressure normally help open the sink.

[@QUICKBOOKS1]

Do CPR for your sink?
I'm sorry, I had to. The joke was right there.

[@srikanths7873]

I use 100ml of coconut oil a daily during my bath - on my hair face hands and chest. Obviously and naturally, I face clogging issues. I use detergent powder plus boiling hot water after and during my bath to clean. No problem! Also, use this combo inside your bathroom washbasin sink because toothpaste junk also creates clogging issues. 1 mug is enough 🙏 daily every single day

[@adamtotten6344]

Use a garden hose full blast. Done.

[@drnehabaria2525]

👍

[@aniruddhakaryekar2390]

Also periodically pour liquid bleach in the drains, let sit for ten or fifteen minutes, then flush with hot water.

[@georgealderson4424]

[@davekulberg3215]

Do these little tricks before your drains plug. Preventive maintenance! Try it. It works!

[@carmenchaux67]

Most of them are a bandage in the big problem. for instance: 1. Baking soda and vinegar not really good but toxic for us. Maybe all the toxic fumes from the pipes come out and causes us toxicity, Also the continues unclogging with it, forms a barrier under nit. which latter on is needed to be taken out with other tools. Just remember that when the drain is continually clogged it may be the old metal pipes braking out that with the acids are needed to be changed faster. Consider that pipes are 50 or 60 years in place. The remedy is an expensive changing of pipes; or better, take plumbing hugging the house but first see if adjusters and insurance can help you in the project.

[@danielbroad8363]

detergent is so natural

[@aries6483]

👍👌

[@Rodeo1202]

What's wrong with liquid plumber

[@julianascaccianoce9919]

I tried baking soda& vinager, did nothing , the plumber has to go the roof with the snake to unplug it,
, I always wipe the grease off dishes& pots it's good to pour boiling water down kitchen drain if it's starting to go down slow

[@nischalkumar6089]

Put smashed glass, not powder but minute glass. Pour them into clogged pipe with castic soda.

[@LearningDimensions]

You might have talked to someone about that. Your phone listens to what you say and adjusts things!

[@lisalamphier1410]

Google is listening. 😳

[@paulgannon3261]

All well so far but it assumes that the blockages are just below the plug hole. If the blockage is say 1m away in the pipe that means 1m of water stuck and no matter how much of anything you put down the drain it won't get to the blockage. The water will need removing before anything can get to it and if I was being picky bi carbonate of soda and white vinegar are still chemicals just given kitchen names

[@dboy6400]

Using something heavier than water would work, whatever that is.
