Aren't clogged sinks the worst?

We have all had a clogged sink or drainage at one point. Arent they the worst? But dont worry, unclogging them is actually really easy.

Most of the times, the kitchen or bathroom sink will clog over time due to dirt build-up which ultimately leads to reduced speed of water flow. For instance, you'll be busy brushing your teeth and the water won't go down the sink or if it does, it's at such a slow pace. When it finally goes down, your sink looks a mess with all the disgusting residue. If this happens at home, there's no need to call a plumber and such. We will show you how you can unclog it yourself and all you will need is Coca-Cola, vinegar and baking soda. All these products, you can get at any supermarket and they will not cost you an arm and a leg.

Instructions:

1. First pour some Coca-Cola into the sink, followed by baking soda. The baking soda should be enough to cover the sink hole.

2. When you do that, the Coca-Cola will begin to rise. At this point, add more baking soda, generously, till it looks like a paste.

3. Now, add more Coca-Cola, you will get a fizzing sound and when it's done, add vinegar which will result in a 'boiling' like reaction.

Leave the reaction to go on for a few minutes, approximately 20-30 minutes.

4. When it's fully done, open the hot water tap to clean up the dirt residue. If your tap has no hot water, you could boil some and pour it in.

This will clean your sink drainage and the water will start flowing freely.
