How to Clean a Sink: Effective Ways

The suction cup for cleaning the sinks

The extremely simple way to clean the sink from clogging has long been considered a plunger, so it is cheap and is found in every home and is also known in all corners of the world.

Components of the plunger:

• Handle, preferably of wood, but can be plastic.
• Rubber component, put on the handle. Has a convex round or oval shape.

The technical cleaning of the plungers takes place in the following order:

1. The plunger closes the hole in the sink or sink.
2. Include as much as possible hot water.
3. These steps recreate the hydraulic pressure, with a few clogs of the plunger the plug starts to move.
4. Pressure drops formed by a large amount of water and the action of a rubber pear destroy the blockage.
5. Pump pull.
6. If everything went well, a funnel of water is created, which quickly flows into the sewage drain.

In the photo below is an approximate picture of the cleaning of the sink.

The amazing method for cleaning shells was invented by skilled housewives. This device is a packing from ordinary milk. The cut corner of the bag is placed in the drain hole and pressed several times from the top. This action will create pressure in the pipe, which can contribute to the elimination of blockage.

Hydraulic pump against clogging

If the plunger is not effective, how do I clean the sink yet? It is necessary to use a manual hydraulic pump, which is capable of a large flow of water and directing downward movements to punch the plug. And even if it is too large, it is sufficient to strengthen the incoming movements upwards, as if sucking up water. This will create even greater pressure.

Soda for cleaning the blockage

In order to apply the soda, you will need the following additional details:

1. Wooden stick.
2. Water in the tank.
3. Package of table vinegar.

For work, you should warm up the water, then wipe the surface of the sink dry, then fill in the hole with 0.5 cups of soda and use a stick for a better spill in the hole. A shell is poured into 0.5 cups of vinegar and after a couple of minutes completely filled with hot water from the kettle. After a short time, the water from the tap should pass in normal mode.

If the siphon is clogged

How do I clean a sink with a siphon? Siphon, as you know, is located below the bottom of the shell and looks like a bent pipe. It is filled with water and performs the function of isolating from unpleasant odors from the sink. The blockage is carried out by solid particles in the bottom of the siphon. Before you clean it, you should substitute a bucket so that the water does not spill where you would not like it.

The siphon is cleaned by parsing it into its components. The photo below shows how to simply disassemble and eliminate the siphon contamination.

Drill for cleaning

The cleaning plug must be installed for a vertical pipe connected to the horizontal section. A cleaning takes place on this principle:

• Place the bucket under the sink.
• Removing the cap.
• Check with wire for crochets of contaminants.
• The drill can be used for a cork, which is densely sagged.

For the drill the siphon must be removed if there is no stub.

Cable for clogging

How to clean the sink with difficult dirt? The cable is the only solution. Applicable for complex traffic jams in sewers. It is able to eliminate the litter of any complexity. The cable is presented in the form of a wire with a handle, twisted into a spiral, three meters long with different diameters. Great for metal pipes.

Scheme of cleaning:

1. Find yourself an assistant.
2. Place the end of the cable in the sink and point it towards the clog.
3. Your assistant should push the cable, and you twist the handle around the axis, thereby creating tension.
   

   Be sure to tighten the cable so that it does not curl, otherwise it can be damaged and its use will immediately stop. And that the cable is not damaged, it must be gradually screwed or even screwed into the sewer pipe. This will allow you to go around without any problems.

4. When the cord is pushed through the entire length, it is necessary to remove it by progressive movements. Wash the sink thoroughly with water.

How to avoid blockages?

Take care not to get hair in the sink and fat and food waste accumulate. And that there was no unpleasant smell, the sink was disinfected, use household chemicals for cleaning shells and sewerage. As soon as they noticed that the water began to descend slightly more slowly, immediately use the available chemical means. Use antiseptics! I wish you success!
