With a few simple ingredients at home, you can clean your drainage pipes and reduce clogging immediately.

Use boiling water

Using boiling water can help you solve the problem of clogged drainage pipes. Usually, this method works well for kitchen sinks clogged with grease and food waste. Of course, you can also use it to treat clogged bathroom drains.

You just need to prepare a kettle of boiling water and pour it directly down the drain. The boiling water will help soften grease and dirt deposits, making them flow away easily and not obstruct the drainage.

Use dishwashing liquid

Put a little dishwashing liquid, salt, white vinegar, and cleaning water into a bowl. Add just enough boiling water and stir well to dissolve all the ingredients.

You have now created a cleaning solution that helps remove dirt such as grease in the drainage pipes.

Now just pour this mixture down the drain and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the cleaning agents to activate and soften the dirt stains.

Then, rinse with water so that the dirt flows away. This way, your drainage pipes will be clean and free from unpleasant odors.

Use baking soda

Baking soda is not only an ingredient used in cooking but also has the effect of cleaning and unclogging drains.

Prepare a kettle of boiling water, baking soda, and a bottle of vinegar.

First, pour the baking soda down the drain. Then, slowly pour in the vinegar. The acid in the vinegar reacts with the baking soda to create a foaming reaction that accelerates the softening of waste inside the pipes.

After waiting 5-10 minutes, pour hot water down the drain. The combination of hot water and these ingredients will help wash away the waste causing the clog.

Use a clothes hanger

This method is simple and highly effective. You just need to straighten a metal clothes hanger, then bend one end to form a hook (like the letter J). Prepare a bag to hold trash collected from the drain cover. Remove the drain cover screw (if any) and insert the hanger into the drain, skillfully maneuvering it to slowly pull out any blockages inside the drainage pipe. Repeat a few times until you feel no more obstruction in the pipe, then stop. Finally, flush with water and you're done.

Use a plunger

You can use a specialized clogging tool called a plunger. These tools are widely available at hardware and sanitation supply stores. Just place the plunger tightly over the drain opening and slowly push down to create pressure, then pull sharply to push out the waste causing the clog. Repeat this action several times until the water flows smoothly.
