Home trick to clean drains and pipes without calling a plumber

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

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

Luckily, in less serious cases, there are some simple tricks that can not only remove blockages from drains and pipes , but also eliminate bad smells in just a few minutes.

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 a plumber.

You need:

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

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 smells.

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

With this trick we can apply an effective and ecological solution to bad smells coming from the sink at home.
