28 – Unclog Your Sink
Just like your shower drain, your sink can get clogged over time. Certain particles may build up in the pipes, resulting in a mess of gunk that won’t allow your sink to drain correctly. But instead of reaching for a harsh, chemical-filled drain cleaner, you can unclog your sink with a little vinegar.
First, pour a good amount of boiling water down the drain. Then follow up the water with a cup of baking soda, followed by a cup of vinegar. After that’s done, put a drain plug in the sink and allow the mixture to sit for five to ten minutes. The vinegar will react with the baking soda, causing a bubbling mixture that will clear your pipes. To ensure your pipes are fully clear, pour a few more cups of boiling water down the drain. After that, your sink should be as good as new!
