- Is your drain clogged? - Then try this secret plumber's trick!
✅ Is HERE something for you? ➡️ amzn.to/3Hi7tEy *
When the drain in the kitchen is clogged, it's really annoying. But before you start unscrewing this one, you can give it a try with this secret plumber trick. Plumbers know this trick and actually use it in practice.
And all you need is washing-up liquid. Dishwashing liquid dissolves grease and dirt and can also free your drain. To do this, dump half a packet of washing-up liquid down the drain.
Then let it soak in for 10 minutes. Now close the plug and fill the entire sink with hot water. When it is full, open the plug so that it begins to drain. When all the water is gone, you should run hot water again for a few minutes.
Now your drain should be really nice and clear and will drain really nice again in the future. And all without you having to unscrew the drain.
So if your drain also drains badly, then definitely try it with this trick once!

I've worked as a drain tech for 7 years and still do. One of the main reasons for sink blockages is dish soap building on top of existing buildup like grease. Dish soap is almost as bad for your drain as grease itself. Even if hot water trick works, you'll be backing up again within a week. There is only one way to do it right and that is to install a cleanout under the sink and auger/snake the pipe. Once flow is achieved, you run hot water and snake again. This is the only method that will last.
A "drain tech"??
Cool story bro
You're so full of SHT, if the hot water trick works? You WON'T be having the same problem in a week.
I agree totally and that guy doesn't know anything about plumbing lol 😂 must be a traitor trump supporter.
I have a bathroom tub that drains slow (and clogs often) where the idiots before me actually have TWO traps...which makes it impossible to snake out. Any ideas how to keep it unclogged?
I used that 10 minute clog remover by ZEP...and do that for several days and it usually gets things flowing ....for only about 2 months tops....and that's ONLY if I do the treatment daily for about 1.5 weeks.
Help!
By the way, the only access to the traps is they would have to rip out a section of my front room ceiling to gain access to the traps so they could blow-torch them out.
@dancalm peaceful these products will do nothing to hair which 99% of the time is the reason for bathtub/shower backups. Two traps should not be a big problem unless the house is super old and it's brass traps. I suggest renting a snake with foot pedal that controls the drum so you can use both hands to feed the cable. Also make sure you take the overflow cap off and snake from there and NOT from the actual drain itself. Let me know if you figure it out. If that doesn't work, get back to me.. there are other solutions but not convenient. You can cut into ceiling to acces the traps, however I don't think there should be any torching involved. Any pipe can be cut
@KBR my friend and I did a test, we put hair in drains for a month, didn't do anything to it. 99% of shower/bathtub blockages are hair. If you achieve flow with drains, all you did is you removed the soap that was stuck in the hair.. so won't last long. You're right about doing it right. Drywall is cheap and repiping should be relatively easy. This whole torching stuff is fishy to me though.
My kitchen sink had been blocked for a while. Tried a plunger, Mr Muscle sink unblocker, boiling hot water, but nothing worked. Last night, after seeing this video, I thought I'd give it a try. Before bed, I squirted some washing up liquid down my sink hole, woke up this morning, boiled a kettle and poured the boiling water down the sink. Ta da! No more blocked sink. It's worked wonders!! No need for expense plumbers and other gadgets and gizmos.
What if it is a bathroom sink. Fat will dissolve in hot water, but the bathroom gets hair and gunge underneath the plug hole, Hair won't dissolve with hot water, so I think you need chemicals here.
I use paper towels to soak up any grease fat or oil in pots & pans straight after cooking whilst the pan is still hot as this saves on minimal grease fat or oil going down into the drains .
Also you can save the grease soaked paper towel in a container to use as fire starters as they make an awesome pre igniter for pit fires 👍
I leave any fat (very healthy, despite what we've been told) in the pan for the next day's eggs...and no, I don't worry about bacteria. Still kicking at 66. 😊
Hell yeah
That's what I do too. Limit the debris going down the drain and you'll never have problems.
Yes quite right, don't let any kind of debris, solid or liquid, go down the drain. I use soft paper towels to clean plates and then flush the dirty dish water out my plastic bowel into the WC. Why? Very old pipes, use a snake to unclog periodically and never use strong dish soap (main cause of clogging as it forms a sticky mass with grease inside the pipe)
@@katebeedot6964 use Dawn works just fine
I had heard this before, but they never said how much and I assumed it was a tablespoon or something. Thanks for this, i will try it!!
Whoa thank you so much! I’ve tried the vinegar baking soda method but it’s still clogged up. This worked like a charm 🥳 🙏🏻
I bought a cheap version of Dawn and it worked for me. Thank you...
Totally agree U read my mind. Walmart* Generic Brand Great Value* Clear Bottle Blue Liquid worked marvelous just like Dawn Liquid👍
Just buy the dawn cheap ass
just don't put grease in the sink,, pour excess grease in some container with a lid and throw out,, small amount wipe off with tissue
I pour my grease in a bowl I made from aluminum foil. Once it is cool, I put it in a ziploc baggie and throw it away.
@@robbinporter402 I just pour it straight in a ziplock once it’s lukewarm
Very true! It should be the first RED FLAG, never put grease or cooking oil down the drain. Unless you enjoy paying a plumber. Over time, things happen.
I try my best not too, and do all things listed in comments instead. However, there is still a small amount of grease in cooking pans after doing them, unless I boil water in them and toss outside. That is a pain to do, but I have dealt with clogs too many times.
Not to mention a much bigger issue from grease, if you are on a private septic system.
I have a single drain/disposal and at times it seems like the water goes down slow. When that happens I occasionally pour about 1/4th cup of dawn soap(the blue color) in the drain before I go to work and let it sit for 8 hours. When I get home I notice that the water goes down much faster.
I do the same with Dawn as well. Just pour it in, run a little water and leave it soak. I go back later and run hot water repeatedly. Wouldn't hurt to compress the drain with a plunger if you feel it is really sticky. Same with the toilets. I also add bleach pellets/bleach water to the drains including the toilets. Don't know if that helps but I believe it reduces buildup and improves any odor you might have. My wife used to do all of this without ever asking for my involvement. So, I have had to learn some things and am still learning. RIP
Me too blue dawn works great
I recently tried this for the garbage disposal - works well. Give grinder a quick spin so soap gets to the wheel edge, leave over night.
I've found that an empty plastic bottle, like a laundry detergent one, with squeezable sides can blow a small clog out of a pipe pretty easily, without wasting soap. Just place open end in the drain tight enough to form a vacuum, and squeeze hard. Whoosh, clean drain!
I’m a plumber. My first plumbing fix was doing this in. The toilet can also be fixed this way.
Is safe to assume I could also do this in my tub? It takes forever for the water to go down.
I'm going to try this
It worked . I didn't have the stopper part but it made the water go down
@@theheddy718 if it's hair, use hair removing cream, which dissolves hair, then buy a hair trap .
How would you know is clogging the drain lol
Well, I was very skeptical; however, I just completed 3 out the 4 sinks in our home…AND THEY ALL RAN MUCH FASTER! Thank you!!
As a plumber, PLEASE don't do any of these things. Let me come out and charge you $125.00 to do this for you :)
trvman1
You’re such a scumbag you would do this and charge somebody $125 to do it.
One question. If the sink is full of hot water, how do you get the plug out. My sink is too deep for rubber gloves.
@@cudgee7144
I guess you could always wait till the water cools down a little :) or get a pair of gloves that go up to your elbow :)
@@cudgee7144 - or...you could use a 5 gallon bucket of hot water instead of filling the sink?!
I’m sure someone has already said this in the comments but a toilet plunger works really well. If you have a double sink, plug one drain and plunge the other. Of course if the blockage is severe, plunging won’t work, neither will half a bottle of dish soap.
There are actually tiny plungers designed specifically for sinks. I didn't know that until I saw them in a hardware store while looking for something to unclog my drain. For it to work you must put enough water in the sink to cover the plunger and cover up any other openings in the sink (such as the overflow drain).
I've been using the plunger method for 40 years. It works so much better and it's a lot more simple. You're not wasting dish detergent. Just plunge hot water through the drains.
Nice to See Arnie has found a new job in life.
And he'll be back! 😂
Get to the choppa!
Baking soda and vinegar works pretty good too. Hot water before to loosen things up, then hot water afterwards to help clean it out.
That works way better than this soap
I agree. I have a book that explains how much baking soda and vinegar to use to unplug a drain.
That's my go-to for opening a slow or plugged drain. It also works well to control fruit and drain fly infestations as the combination of acid and alkaline kills the eggs and larva that live in the built up pipe gunk.
That's what I do. Plus it's fun watching the erupting reaction..
Cleaners cause cancer and goes lakes and rivers
I can't believe this actually worked. Tried on a bathroom sink drain that has been clogged for months. Multiple applications of Drano barely did anything to the slow drain. Poured a bunch of Dawn dish soap down the drain with this method. And now it is draining like normal.
thanks this method really worked on my shower hair clog! All I had to do was bail the water out of the shower into the toilet put the soap into the drain waited 20 minutes used hot water and a little bit of plunging and away went troubles down the drain!
Dammass 😂bight bigga
One thing I do once a week is mix up a strong solution of powdered laundry soap
3 to 4 scoops in a bucket with the hottest tap water , Plug the other sink opposite the disposal side , Turn on the disposal and pour the solution at a moderate flow
The disposal acts like a pump and power flushes the drain and powered laundry soap cuts grease much better than dish soap
You can find a large bucket of powdered laundry soap at Sam's club for around 20 bucks , The best thing to do is flush the drain just when it starts to run slow , You can also take a large pot and heat up some water to boiling and add powdered laundry soap to enhance its performance , One time my mom put bacon grease down the drain and clogged it up , So I took the large stock pot and heated up water to boiling , Added 4 scoops of powdered laundry soap and poured it down the drain and thankfully it unclogged it , Afterwards I did the procedure again to make sure the grease was gone
Thanks for this video. I tried it on my semi blocked kitchen sink, and it kind of half worked, but then a couple of days later it seemed to work a little bit more better, so it worked some in unblocking my sink. Maybe I’ll need to repeat it again.
Definitely try again and on your 2nd try, go ahead and use the "entire bottle" of Dish Soap.
My grandfather showed me how to do this trick many years ago. BTW.. It works even better if you use the entire bottle. Also use HOT 🔥 Water before adding the Dish Soap and then let it soak about 30 minutes. Then repeat HOT 🔥 Water Rinse Again. It should flow like it's new again.
Yup, Good. Even better you can put a rubber cup plunger over the drain hole while the sink is filling, then raise up & thrust down 5 or 6 times to create a pressure surge in the drainage pipes which will help shift stubborn blockages. Adding a little bleach will help to get rid of any lingering smells.
Good stuff
bleach will damage the pipes over time
I wondered when someone would mention a plunger, rather than to go immediately to more expensive solutions. I've been in my present house for ten years, and lots of the installation was far from ideal (thank you 'plumber')' I have a septic tank, so can't use any of the chemical suggestions. A large, heavy plunger and a kettle of boiling water have worked in all the different drains so far.
Yosemite Sam recommends a stick of dynamite . ✨💥✨
Thats funny! Thanks Trevor.
i use soda powder, vinegar and hot water once every few days. So far so good.
I'm not a plumber but in my experience as a home owner, the majority of the time a sink is clogged it is due to build-up in the "P-trap". With most modern plumbing it is quite a simple job to unscrew the "P-trap" and douche the sink drain pipe and the elbow which usually have hair and soap build-up which leads to the clog.
That may be the case the majority of the time, but after two atempts I found that it was beyond p- trap because in the first place the p-trap main purpose is to retain a certain amount of water that acts as a barrier to prevent the smell of sewage gases from escaping from the drain and into your kitchen or bathroom, moving forward I went to the roof vent, it onky took two tries with a mannual hand snake, haven't had a problem since the roof vent was magic, the p-trap was not the easy fix most hope for.
😮....l m m m😅z
@@robertescobar535it's a U bend !
I was just thinking what’s a P trap 🤷♀️ 🤔 now I know thanks for clearing that up, now to try and work out how to sort my smelly sink out, no doubt it’s a build up of bits of food ..ect the kids create when food goes down my sink aswell as water 🚿 😊
My brother in law told me this little trick many years ago. I’ve used it many times, forever grateful to him!
Alka seltzer tabs work really well for cleaning clogged drains(same with toilets). Crush up a couple of them and put them in the drain. Run a little bit of water to activate them. Wait till the foam goes down and rinse. May have to repeat. The fizzy will eat or loosen the clogged food and hair. Works good for shower drains too.
interesting idea!
@@arleneirvine1526I use soda crystals once a week they are cheap and very effective.
I’ve done this for years with no problems. Great solution!
By extension of the same token, Metamucil for constipated drains!
@@stddisclaimer8020 This is sarcasm yes?
I use a small plunger as the water is going down, go up and down with the plunger, this causes velocity or agitation causing stubborn food particles to dislodge and get flushed down the drain like flushing a toilet.
I normally just fill a 5 gallon bucket with hot or boiling water & dump that in, the pressure of the extra water pushes out the clog.
Works well for clogged toilets too but the water doesn't need to be hot or boiling.
Works great! Thank you!
Your Welcome :)
Thank you so much! This technique really works. We used a small bottle of Dawn and a couple pots of boiling water. Two tries and it was done.
Toilet bowl cleaner works well too. It has a mild acid in it that's specifically formulated to dissolve organic matter, so it works great on kitchen sinks. Just be careful if the sink is stainless steel, because it will unfortunately get stained if any of the liquid is spilled on it. Wipe up spills immediately
thank you!
Just use sodium hydroxide (lye). It's way cheaper.
@@adamb89 it will harden the grease tho to a point it'll be rock solid
@no0fat0chx Only if you don't use enough. That's when it basically turns into soap. Use enough and it'll eat it all away.

I tried your idea, it worked GREAT. Thanks.
Your Welcome :)
As a drain pipe I can confirm that I have 25 years of plumbing experience
I always use washing up liquid in my kitchen sink by pouriNg it into the drain leave it a few minutes then use hot water to drain it all the way out of the system and it clears the drain but I repeat it again if there are still some signs of slow drain a little bit. It helps each time but sometimes I might repeat it just to make sure most or all that might remain in the drain is gone
Saw this video last night and tried it........amazed how well it worked on my kitchen drains! Thanks for all your very simple ways to make basic home maintenence easy, and inexpensive too.
Will not last long
I would not count on this as a long term solution
Poor ocean
@Lau Ra The ocean doesn't need your pity _(especially not from dish washing soap)._
@@rachybaby72 Are you the ocean? Or just a stupid gossip?
My plumber recommends giving a quick short squirt of dish soap in drains (and toilets) at the end of the night about once a week and/or if you're not going to use the drain for awhile. It definitely breaks down the grease and gunk in the lines.
hot water boling
@@55tumbler never use boiling water as some of the plastics & fittings in the pipes may deteriorate. Hot water only is needed.
@@55tumbler do the soap first then hot water
Best way is boiling hot water, wait 20 mins then put baking Soda in sink and vinegar. Then 20 mins later add hot water again.
Worked wonderfully for me.
Was struggling since 2 days finally this worked.. Danke Schön Sir
Many years ago I had a friend named Sean. He had a weird laugh so we called him "Donkey Sean". Thanks for the memory. lol
This worked a bloody treat. Thanking you!! 😊
We use baking soda and vinager as a natural drain cleaner, makes drains smell nice if they are stinky too. Pour some baking soda down drain then pour vinager over top it will fizz up and dissolve your clog. You can follow up with dish soap and hot water flush
i've been doing it for yrs. soap powder in washing up also leaves glasses looking amazing. crystal clean.
😂 😂 😂 😂
I've been doing this for years. Before bed squirt a good dose of washing up liquid down the plug and let it do it's thing overnight. I do this once a week using maybe 10% of a bottle.
It works the same for a clogged toilet when even a plunger won’t work. A large amount of Dawn detergent will do the trick. If it doesn’t work the 1st time do it again. Never fails.
How does it work if your on septic system
@Lorna: Now that I do not know. I’m not on a septic system. Sorry.
As I plumber I recommend simply removing the trap cleaning it out and put it back , takes all of 1 minute and any crayon eater could manage it .
Taking the trap out from underneath the sink it's not a simple task thatcould be done in one minute LOL you've clearly never done it or you wouldn't make such a stupid comment
@@raydawn675 oh yes it is clown shoes
@@raydawn675 it’s literal undo two plastic nuts 😆
@@Indicasativa55 You are drastically overestimating the ability crayon eaters.
The crayon-eater has to own a nice big adjustable wrench.
It works. Let the detergant stay a little bit longer and the rinse after that was shorter - but it works :):):).
I’ve always used baking powder and vinegar combo. Shake a few tablespoons of baking powder down plug hole, then SLOWLY pour in vinegar. You’ll know when to stop as the acid / alkaline combo fizzes, burning thru any crap that’s in the drain. Leave for 30 mins then pour a kettle’s worth of boiling water in.
Question I noticed this trick is used for kitchen drains but will it work similarly to shower drains and bathroom sink drains?
It certainly does!! My bathroom sink was draining slowly and backing up when the tap was left on.
I followed the instructions in the video and it worked first go!
Allow water to drain from sink, if it will not drain bail it out. Heat a large pot of hot water to the boiling point. Place a cup of baking soda in the drain opening. Once the water is boiling, poor one cup of vinegar on top of the baking soda. Allow to foam up. Follow with the boiling water immediately.
I thought it was a bad idea to put boiling water down drains bcs if pvc.
merci, thank you.
Yes, I had a toilet that was unmoveable even with a professional quality snake, big plunger, and one of those TV commercial tools. I did a third of a bottle of dish washing soap and left it for a day. Magic happened. Used it once since with same good results.. I like the baking soda/vinegar but that is a bit risky if you sink or bowl is near the rim full.
Interessante! Grazie per il consiglio!👍
What about adding BAKING SODA as well and then rising with (hot) VINEGAR?
It works!! After trying multiple things multiple time .. this is the solution
1. Didn't work with plain boiling water
2. Didn't work with salt
3. Dint work with vinegar
I added some good amount of dish washer liquid , and after 10 mins poured some very hot boiling water .. works like magic . Thanks 👍
Excellent 🙏🕊️💓
What do you do when the pipe itself is clogged? I cleaned out the trap, looked at the pipe and it's clogged with gunk.
I did this, and it WORKED!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
A trick I use to unclog a drain is as follows.
1, take a towel and stuff it into the drain.
2, take a gallon of cheap vinegar and poke a tiny hole on the bottom and one on the top.
3, place the gallon over the sinkhole.
After it drips all the way out it will have eaten and loosened grease and hair up significantly!
does this work for lavatory sinks too? i mean grease isn't the cause for that i would assume. mostly hair... so yeah. what should i do for clogged lavatory sinks?
1/3 cup baking soda into the drain.
I push it downward with my finger to make sure in gets into the pipe.
Pour about a cup of white vinegar into the drain.
It will bubble up.
I do this twice, only using less baking soda the second time.
Also, less vinegar.
Leave it like that for about five minutes.
Then pour a pot of boiling water down the drain.
It has never failed , however, as soon as I notice that the drain is slow, I perform this process.
Thank you! Worked like a charm. So appreciated!
Baking soda, vinegar and then hot water are also effective.☺️
just vinegar (boiling) with soap. Don't do both baking soda with vinegar since they cancel each other out. Also vinegar is quite weak and most likely won't do much. Although boiling the water out for a sustained period will make it stronger. Something stronger like 25% hydrogen peroxide would be more useful, or something like lye or soda ash (sodium carbonate) although be careful since these products are also hazardous.
@@MsHojat I have been using baking soda, followed by vinegar, let it sit in the drain for five to ten minutes and then pout in boiling water for years.. Only one time it did not work and I had to follow up with a plunger and that let everything move just fine.
I can see this working for the kitchen sink, where most of the clogs are probably due to a buildup of grease (with other things trapped in it). It seems like periodically using a lot of hot water in the sink might help prevent the pipes from getting clogged. I also try not to pour grease down my sink (and if I wash something really greasy, I run a little extra hot water).
For my bathroom sinks, I plunge it from time to time (before it gets clogged). This pulls up a lot of nasty, black crud, which I remove and throw away. I suspect most of that is a buildup of shaving cream, toothpaste, and maybe hair, etc. For the shower, I think most of the clogs are from a buildup of hair. I've found that occasionally applying Zep's 10 Minute Hair Clog Remover (it comes in a big red bottle) works really well to keep the drain flowing. Zeps formula uses enzymes that are specially designed to break down hair. I carefully pour in the recommended amount, wait 10 minutes, then run some hot water to make sure that I rinse it away from the floor of the shower. Later, when I use the shower, I can hear a difference as the drain has less blocking it.
Thank you for this new trick! I adore my plumber, but I can't afford to use him often.
What also works is filling your sink with hot water and a bit of dish soap once and a while then let is drain fast. Dish washer machines and people who like to just wash a few dishes with the water dribbling causes a lack of flushing pressure of the drain. Stop it before it happens.
I have used this method before. I let the soap sit in the drain for over an hour. I then rinse with boiling hot water from an electric kettle.
Another good one is sodium carbonate, also known as soda crystals, washing soda and soda ash.
that is what i use, and i wash it away with boiling hot water, from the kettle and then let the hot water faucet run for a few minutes
Great tips thnxs
It really works. Thanks for sharing.
Does this also work with bathroom drains clogged by hair from shaving?
I put sodium bicarbonate in the bath tub drain, then pour a cup of vinegar in. Rinse with hot water after 15 minutes..
We always kept an empty jar under the sink to pour the grease in until it solifies and when the jar is full ,dump
the jar in the garbage can.😉
Laundry detergent with Enzymes is what works the best since the live enzymes literally "eat" the grease in the drain pipes. Commercial kitchens buy a product that is made just to clean the grease traps and it also has these same like enzymes.
Thank you 🌸
So secret
Even plumbers don’t know about it. 😂
It does work, but the way I do it is slightly different. I boil a kettle and two pots of water. I put three tablespoons of dish detergent down the drain and three tablespoons of detergent in each pot. Then I pour the kettle and the pots down the drain and it's clear... do this every couple of months and never pour grease down the drain.
Yeah, grease from a frying pan and hair shavings in a sink are bad for drains I have found.
@@johnsealey5334 I never do it if the drain is plugged.
Great solution. On another hand , i always clog up my toilet ( i have very hard stool , sorry to be graphic ) anyway , i found out that if i have " a lot " of ( fill in the gap ) I fill up a bucket or an empty medium sized trash can with hot water , then as you're flushing , POUR the hot water in while you're flushing , and do it FAST ( just don't overflow it ) .You can also do the same thing if your toilet is already messed up or flushing very slowly or incompletely. It works wonders.

Is there someone who can give me some advice on what to do .I contact Len Plumming no help I’m not the homeowner I’m the renter
Please help thanks
I do this like every 6 months or so but yes boiling water works best
We recently had our septic tank that was full emptied and even after that our toilet still didn't want to drain properly. Aggravated, I started wondering what the cause might be then it hit me. The toilet still wasn't flushing properly because once the septic tank was full, all of the waste water had nowhere to go so it had accumulated into the line that leads to the septic tank and in the process created a clog. Here's what I personally did as a fix: I waited until the toilet had drained as far as it could (the bowl was nearly empty), I then added a good amount of Dawn dish soap concentrate, flushed the toilet, and immediately started plunging. After about 10 minutes the toilet bowl started gurgling air bubbles and the water level then started to slowly drop. Once the water level got low enough, I repeated the process 3 more times except I waited 30 minutes between each flush instead of 10. End result ? Bye bye, clog.
Thank you I had a clogged kitchen sink due to grease I squirted a small amount of dish liquid in sink and poured a whole pot of hot water in and it got rid of clog instantly
Yup one time I used elephant piss it works great saves on soap

A plunger i was going to use broke. So i boiled a large pot of water and, once boiled, poured down the drain. Did it a second time and clog cleared. Also works for toilets. Boiling water until clog clears. Simple
It's nice to see an overflow port on a kitchen sink drain.....must be in Europe....we don't have these here in USA, typically.....they are on the bathroom sinks and bathroom tubs, however.
We don’t have an over flow in the kitchen sink, and I live in England. Mind you the sink must be 15-20 years old. Perhaps if I was to buy a new one, it would have an over flow on it
Yes, he is in Germany. Every sink has to have one here. I am currently in Ireland and it’s the same here as well. I suppose it might be in the whole EU.
We don’t have garbage disposals in our sinks in Europe. They might be the reason the USA sinks don’t have an overflow port. They look handy, but I am wondering how to keep them clean.
@@ich8159 ....thank you !
What about a bathroom sink with a very slow drain?
The bathroom sink is more likely to be clogged with hair. The soap won’t help much as it won’t dissolve hair. Good news is that it’s likely to be tangled just below the drain stopper but above the trap (the J shaped curved pipe under your sink.) If you have about 2 feet of wire (a wire hanger) you can push it into the drain as far as it will go, wiggle it around and pull it back out. Sometimes you can pull out a big hair ball. It works well if you shape the end of the wire like a spiral (piggy tail) to catch the hair ball. Also, the drain stopper just unscrews from a rod below. Unscrew it to make the drain hole easier to get in and out of.
I've had luck pouring in full-strength bleach, letting it sit for quite a while, then flushing with hot water.
@@wadebarnett2542 Thanks for the tip. I will give it a try.
You can use a plunger. Stuff a rag into the overflow hole in the sink, put a couple of inches of hot water into the sink, plunge away, finish with a pot of boiling water.
Good Idea. Thanks
your Welcome :)
Rarely works on my old plumbing system. Snake works best on old, roots inside, toilet. Thx for suggestions.
Doesn't this happen everyday anyway, everytime you do the dishes ?
That won't work as well if you have really HARD water... the mineral deposits are NOT effected by the dish detergent... would take some acidic content of some sort.
Correct
In my country, we have a product called Draino, works great. But I don't see why pouring some bicarb soda down the drain then pour some vinegar in straight after wouldn't work just as well.
Scusa, posso chiederti che prodotto usi perché non vedo traduzione e se Amazon lo vende? Grazie
Been doing this for years. Dish soap is designed to breakdown grease but it won't do squat for hair though. In the kitchen I use about a half a bottle of Dawn and then about an hour later I follow it up with a kettle or two of boiling water, works like a charm. I do this once a year when the sink drains slow.
This works so well plumbers in the UK tried to have the government stop the practice by, get this, saying it caused severe damage to the pipes. Government responded by saying only damage was to your wallet and get over it.
Hot vinegar baking soda after 5 minutes rinse 2 qt pot boiling hot water🤗
That has worked for me.
It worked👏🙂! Thank you.
Been Doing This For Years But put I boiling water out of the kettle in the hole first to soften up the grease in there, then put the Washing up liquid in then more boiled water ...Great trick ... Nice n Simple Cheers
Hell I use Drano, haven't had a problem since 😊
