Home trick to clean the drain and pipes without calling the plumber…
There is nothing more satisfying and pleasant than having a clean and fragrant home. However, sometimes it may happen that despite having cleaned all the surfaces in the kitchen or bathroom, they release a rather unpleasant odor.
In most cases, this bad smell is caused by an accumulation of residues in the sink drain, sometimes so copious that they clog the pipes and prevent the water from flowing down.
Fortunately, in less serious cases, it is possible to adopt simple tricks that not only remove blockages from drains and pipes, but eliminate bad odors in just a few minutes.
Below we suggest an effective DIY trick that will help you keep the drain and pipes clean quickly and easily, without using chemicals or calling the plumber.
Half a glass of bicarbonate of soda
Half a glass of vinegar
Pour the baking soda into the sink, making sure to get a good portion of it down the drain. Then also pour in the vinegar, which when it comes into contact with the bicarbonate will generate an effervescent action.
At this point you can take advantage and use a sponge to clean the internal surfaces of the sink: the combination of vinegar and bicarbonate is very effective in removing dirt, disinfecting and making the metal shine.
After about 5 minutes, pour plenty of hot water into the sink to rinse and remove all residues, as well as bad odors.
To prevent the accumulation of food or other residues in the sink drain, we suggest you apply this trick periodically, without waiting for a bad smell to form or, even worse, for the drain to clog.
With this trick we will be able to apply an effective and ecological solution to the bad odors that come from the sink at home.
