Your sink will be free from blockages in 2 minutes by using the cotton earbud technique

Everyone has had to deal with a clogged sink at some point. And you surely know how frustrating this can be. This "inconvenience" can even prevent us from using the kitchen, for example, altogether. And blocked sinks can also give off unpleasant smells.

Before resorting to the use of aggressive, expensive and potentially harmful chemicals - or calling out an expensive plumber - you can try a few natural remedies which may work.

In this article, we show you a DIY method to clear sink blockages:

There is a very simple technique which will allows you to unblock you sink. For this operation you will only need a degreaser, hot water, baking soda and a box of cotton earbuds (cotton swabs).

The first thing to do is pour hot water into the sink until it is completely filled and leave it to act for a few minutes. Then, pour in 250 grams of baking soda and wait a few more seconds before getting some earbuds. Moisten the earbuds with hot water and degreaser and insert them gently into the clogged drain, making circular movements until the water starts draining away.

There are numerous advantages to using this technique, first of which is that it costs almost nothing. And earbuds can get into hard-to-reach areas, dislodging dirt and blockages and ensuring that the drains are cleared. This technique can also be used as a regular preventative measure to prevent blockages from forming in the first place.

If your sink is not badly clogged, using just the baking soda could be enough to get rid of the problem. In this case, just put 250 grams of bicarbonate into the sink drain, immediately followed by 1 liter of boiling water. Let it act for at least half an hour before running any more water.
