Cleaning pipes is certainly not one of the most pleasant activities. However, it is worth doing it regularly because a clogged sink can cause numerous problems. This simple trick will make you start cleaning the pipes every fortnight.

Cleaning various parts of the home can take several hours. Two of the least enjoyable rooms to scrub are the kitchen and bathroom. If you wish to speed up the cleaning process, learn this 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 struggled 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 dispose of food scraps, vegetable peelings, or tea leaves in the sink. However, this precaution alone is not enough.

The sink and pipes should be cleaned regularly. A quick way to assist with this is using a dishwasher tablet. Here's what you need to do: fill a cup halfway with hot water and drop a dishwasher tablet into it. Once it dissolves, pour the solution into the sink and wait about 10 minutes. After this time, flush everything with warm water. The solution should be poured into the sink every fortnight to ensure the trick is as effective as possible.

Trick for unclogging pipes

If you don't have a dishwasher tablet 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, then pour one cup of vinegar over it. The vinegar and soda will eliminate harmful microorganisms and unpleasant odours. Cover the drain with a plate to allow the mixture to work. Lastly, flush thoroughly.
