I unclogged the clogged sink without spending 1 euro, simply with a cotton swab
A clogged sink, whether in the kitchen or bathroom, is a major problem.
In fact, to be honest, it’s so disabling for the home that we instinctively reach for the phone to contact the plumber.
Obviously, your intervention is essential if the seriousness of the situation is such that it is necessary to consider dismantling it to free it, but in milder cases it is useless to bother it, wait for it and recognize the service provided.
We can act, in person, at no cost and with all due respect to our family budget.
There are many chemicals on the market that can clear any clog, but at what cost? Apart from the immediate purchase cost, they are dangerous for environmental health, but not only. Being highly corrosive, they can affect pipes and seriously damage them.
It is better not to take risks and opt for natural remedies or just use a cotton swab!

Clogged sink: this is how to unclog it with a cotton swab
Today’s cotton swabs are biodegradable, do not pollute the environment and can also be very useful in household chores. When we have to, for example, clean very small, almost hidden spaces, their intervention is decisive.
And the good news doesn’t end there, from now on they will also help us free the clogged sink. To achieve this, we need to have:
- hot water to taste,
- 1/2 cup baking soda,
- 1 cup of vinegar,
- 4/5 cotton swabs.
Pour the baking soda well into the sink, add the vinegar and wait for the fizz to fade, then turn on the tap and run hot water, but not too hot so as not to burn yourself. We put on latex gloves and dip the cotton swab into the stagnation, inserting it into the sink grate. We are going to move it to get to where there is a jam to move it and slide it through the pipes.
We repeat this last step until we succeed, clearing the obstruction.
In less than two minutes, our bathroom or kitchen will be usable and usable again.
With this technique, we will avoid spending our savings by asking for the help of a professional or buying expensive and polluting products.
And that’s not all. Every time you clean the sink, take advantage of it and wipe it with a cotton swab even if there are no clogs. This will reduce the risk of scale or blockages forming and the water will always flow quickly.
Brilliant, right?
