Return to article: How to Unclog a Sink Naturally
on 9/29/2008 Glad I found this...had two sinks full of water in the kitchen, had been plunging for hours and the disposal side would drain, but come up the other sink. I think I put too much food in the disposal... :( I did not have vinegar, so used baking soda only. Plugged one side, poured baking soda in the other and then a pot of boiling water. The clog disappeared instantly! Put baking soda in the other sink and washed it down with another pot of boiling water...sinks are draining beautifully!! Thanks to your posts!!
on 5/25/2008 I use clarifying shampoo. If it removes dirt and condition buildup in hair safely, why not clogs? I pour 2 to 4 tablespoons,let it sit overnight. In the morning, I fill the bowl with water, take a plunger to it, and after 1 or more tries, it's unclogged. Best thing? It doesn't hurt pipes. Clarifying shampoo is meant to get out heavy buildup in hair - most of the same stuff that is building up in pipes, so it works beautifully. I do this at least once a month to keep the sink from clogging.
on 11/22/2005 By accident I discovered that pouring very hot water down the kitchen sink drain unclogged it in a matter of days. Every so often I repeat this to keep it working well. I had been using a commercial product, without much real luck.
