How to clean a kitchen sink (Page 2 ) | March 2, 2025

3. Pipe Cleaner

An easy and convenient method is to use a professional pipe cleaner that is safe, convenient, and inexpensive, without damaging the pipes. The process may vary slightly depending on the product, but the general steps are as follows:

Dissolve the pipe-cleaning powder in water.

Pour the solution down the clogged drain.
Wait for 60-180 minutes (depending on the type of powder and the severity of the clog) for the powder to break down the debris in the sink drain.
Flush with clean water.
4. Baking Soda, Vinegar, and Salt Mixture

Mix baking soda and salt in a 1:1 ratio, then prepare 200ml of white vinegar. Pour the baking soda and salt mixture into the drain, followed by the vinegar. Cover the drain and wait for 1-2 hours. Then, pour hot water into the drain to enhance the cleaning of the blockages in the sink.

5. Plunger

First, pour some water into the sink. Then, place the rubber plunger firmly over the drain. Apply strong downward pressure on the plunger and pull it up repeatedly. Keep doing this until the water begins to drain properly.

6. Use a Spring or Metal Hook

Prepare a spring or metal wire, and use pliers to straighten it. Bend one end of the wire into a U-shape. Slowly insert the U-shaped end into the drain, rotating it to catch debris on the hook. Move the hook up and down several times until you pull out all the debris from the pipe.

How to Prevent Kitchen Sink Clogs
Clean up food scraps and debris after preparing ingredients or washing dishes.

Avoid pouring grease or leftover food down the sink.
Use a drain filter and clean or replace it regularly.
Occasionally pour boiling water down the drain, even when the sink is not clogged, to flush away excess grease.
Use a metal hook to immediately remove large items that you may have accidentally dropped into the drain.
Avoid using water with excessive impurities or dirt, as this can clog both the drain and the faucet.
Use simple drain unclogging tools that are easy to use at home.
