Clogged sink, the natural trick to clear the clog
When household drains are clogged with stale water, food, or other things, it not only causes a blockage, but also an unbearable stench. To dissolve these deposits and unblock the drain, there are three natural ingredients that together have a caustic and swallowing effect.

The first ingredient is sodium carbonate , which is cheap and easy to find, white in color, and grainy in appearance. It should be used instead of sodium bicarbonate as it is more caustic due to its high alkali content. It acts directly as a deodorant, degreaser and disinfectant.
This ingredient is combined with alcohol vinegar , similar to white wine vinegar, and is a solution obtained from the fermentation of sugars. Its power is a descaler as well as a limescale and pipe cleaner. Hot water is added to the above two remedies, which stimulates the reaction of the ingredients and rinses away any residue to clean the pipes.
The dosages to prepare for a treatment of average nature are:
Sodium carbonate 4 tablespoons
Alcohol vinegar half a glass
Hot water 1 liter
