The water in the sink that refuses to flow, that annoying little gurgling sound that we ignore for too long… Until the day it doesn’t work at all. Before picking up your phone to call a plumber, what if a simple bottle of water could be enough? Yes, you read that right: a plastic bottle, a few everyday ingredients, and a little pressure. Curious, isn’t it?

The clogged sink: a daily concern

Who hasn’t had that unpleasant surprise after doing the dishes? The water that stagnates, the smell that rises… And often, the obvious is postponed, for lack of time or an immediate solution. Fortunately, there is a little homemade trick, as simple as it is effective, to give your pipes a fresh look, without aggressive chemicals or dismantling.

Salt: your unexpected ally against traffic jams

First step: head to the kitchen. Bring some coarse salt, that good old companion in the closet. By pouring a good handful (about 100 g) into the sink, you rely on a gentle abrasive effect. It helps to loosen grease and residue that slows down the flow of water. A little extra: combined with hot water, it acts as a natural cleaner for your pipes.
