Top 3 Easiest Ways To Unclog your Sink

We know firsthand that there's nothing worst than a clogged drain.

A blocked sink is almost inevitable, as you can imagine how much use it gets throughout the year.

From hair, dirt and skin flakes, you'd be surprised at all the sh*t that binds with the gooey soap accumulating on the walls of the drain pipes.

So let us help prepare you to unblock those minor blockages effectively by sharing our top 3 easy tips and tricks.

1. Use a Plunger

We know it's been a long time since you have used one of these for a blockage. And no, not that type of blockage!

So grab your plunger out from under the sink, clear your sinkhole and basin.

Insert the plunger over the sinkhole, fill up an inch or so of water in the basin, then make sure you firmly apply pressure in an up and down motion (whoah, steady on there)

This should create a suction effect-make sure you aren't too harsh with this motion to avoid any damage.

This should have cleared dislodged any minor blockages.

If not, try the further instructions below before calling an experienced plumber.

2. Drain snake

I know your thinking, what the hell is this, but I assure you it's not as slippery as it sounds.

A drain snake is a gadget that helps to physically dislodge the clog by bending through the pipework.

There are many DIY versions of the snake drain, such as a pipe cleaner, coat hanger and metal wire which are all a lot easier to use than you think.

All you have to do is insert the drain snake down the drain, then apply a little bit of force in a back and forth motion to release the debris.

You can get your hands on a drain snake from places like Amazon or a local hardware store- we think it's definitely worth investing in one!

3. Drain Unblockers

This is a bit of a controversial one, it may not be to everyone's liking. However, drain unblockers are a quick and effective way to dissolve the more prominent, difficult clogs, but that doesn't mean you should be tipping them down the sink every week.

Drain cleaners should only be used very sparingly because of the toxic chemicals they contain.

If none of the above methods works- throw the whole sink away.

No, but all jokes aside, at this point, it's best to call in a plumbing expert for help.

Hopefully, we have taught you some valuable tricks to help remove the minor blockages.
