How to unclog a clogged drain in 5 seconds with the bottle trick


Clogged drains  are a very common problem in our homes, especially if we have slightly older pipes. This problem can also be accompanied by bad smells, due to food residues and dirt that accumulate in the pipes themselves.

Usually, special chemical products are used to unclog a clogged pipe, but few know that it is possible to achieve the same result by spending much less and without harming the environment: below we propose the famous nozzle of the bottle for unclogging a    clogged pipe   .

Start by getting an empty one-liter plastic bottle, some baking soda, and white vinegar. The bottle obviously must be empty.

Pour 150 grams of bicarbonate into the bottle, then gradually pour in 300 ml of vinegar. It is important to proceed slowly to avoid the effervescent reaction generated between the two ingredients causing the solution to escape from the bottle.

Pour the contents of the bottle down the drain, making sure everything fits. Squeeze the bottle to release the solution with light pressure.

The effervescent reaction will also continue in the drain, removing any residue and unblocking it.

Wait about 5 minutes, then pour plenty of hot water into the drain to    eliminate all residues and have a   perfectly functioning and scented drain.
