DIY Drain Cleaning: Safe and Effective Ways to Unclog Your Sink

Clogged sinks are frustrating, but chemical cleaners can harm your pipes. Try these safe methods to unclog your sink instead:

• Boiling Water – Pouring hot water can dissolve minor grease blockages.

• Baking Soda & Vinegar – Mix 1/2 cup of baking soda and 1/2 cup of vinegar. Let sit for 15 minutes, then rinse with hot water.

• Plunger – A sink plunger can dislodge clogs with suction.

• Drain Snake – Feed a snake into the drain and twist to remove debris.

• Wet/Dry Vacuum – Suction can pull out hair and gunk.

For persistent clogs, you may need professional help.
