Home trick to clean the drain and pipes without calling the plumber

There is nothing more satisfying and pleasant than having a clean and fragrant home. However, sometimes it can happen that despite having cleaned all the surfaces in the kitchen or bathroom, they release a rather unpleasant odor.

In most cases, this bad smell is caused by a buildup of residue in the sink drain , sometimes so copious that it clogs the pipes and prevents the water from flowing down.

Fortunately, in less serious cases, it is possible to adopt simple tricks that not only remove blockages from

Below we suggest an effective DIY trick that will help you keep your drain and pipes clean quickly and easily, without using chemicals or calling the plumber.

You need:

• Half a glass of bicarbonate of soda
• Half a glass of vinegar

Pour the baking soda into the sink, making sure to get a good portion of it down the drain. Then also pour in the vinegar, which when it comes into contact with the bicarbonate will generate an effervescent action.

At this point you can take advantage and use a sponge to clean the internal surfaces of the sink: the combination of vinegar and bicarbonate is very effective in removing dirt, disinfecting and making the metal shine.

After about 5 minutes, pour plenty of hot water into the sink to rinse and remove all residues, as well as bad odors.

To prevent the accumulation of food or other residues in the sink drain, we suggest you apply this trick periodically, without waiting for a bad smell to form or, even worse, for the drain to clog.

With this trick we will be able to apply an effective and ecological solution to the bad odors that come from the sink at home.
