A clogged sink, whether in the kitchen or bathroom, is a big problem.
In fact, to be honest, it’s so stressful at home that we instinctively pick up the phone to contact the plumber.
Of course, your intervention is necessary when the situation is so serious that you have to think about dismantling it to free it. However, in less serious cases, it makes no sense to bother them, wait for them and acknowledge the service provided.
We can work personally, for free and within our family budget.
There are many chemicals on the market that can clear any clog, but at what cost? In addition to the immediate upfront costs, they are dangerous not only to the environment, but also to the health of the environment. Because they are very corrosive, they can attack pipes and seriously damage them.
Don’t risk it and opt for natural remedies or simply use a cotton swab!

Clogged sink: how to unclog it with a cotton swab
Today’s cotton buds are biodegradable, do not pollute the environment and can be very useful for household chores. For example, when we need to clean very small, almost hidden spaces, your intervention is essential.
And that’s not all: now they also help us clear the sink. To achieve this we need:
- hot water to taste,
- 1/2 cup baking powder,
- 1 cup vinegar,
- 4/5 cotton swabs.
Pour the baking soda well into the sink, add the vinegar and wait for the bubbling to stop. Then turn the faucet and run hot water , but not so hot that it burns you. We put on latex gloves, dip a cotton swab in the liquid and insert it into the grate of the sink. We move it to get to where the obstruction is, to move it and push it through the pipe.
We repeat this last step until we manage to remove the obstacle.
In less than two minutes, our bathroom or kitchen will be reusable and usable.
With this technique, we avoid spending our savings, seeking help from a professional or buying expensive and polluting products.
And that’s not all. Every time you clean the sink, take the opportunity to clean it with a cotton swab, even if there are no obstructions. This reduces the risk of scale formation or clogging and the water continues to drain quickly.
Great, right?
