One of the most common problems that suddenly appear in the home and without warning is the blockage of the water drainage area in the kitchen or bathroom sink, or the so-called “sink”. The problem is actually large, but you can solve it without resorting to external assistance. Before knowing the solution, let us learn about the causes of the blockage. :
1. Throwing leftover food into the sink, which leads to it turning into black, sticky waste.
2. Leftover coffee and tea.
3. Throw away leftover vegetables and fruits.
4. Remains of meat, fish and chicken during cleaning.
5. Throwing leftover oil or ghee into the sink, which is one of the most common problems that cause blockages.
6. Throw leftover makeup or tools into the bathroom sink.
7. Long hair, which is one of the most important causes of blockage in the bathtub drain area.

1. Hot water:
Hot water is considered the appropriate solution if the cause of the accumulation is oil, ghee, or fat, as it works to dissolve it and flow it to the drain location.

2. Sodium carbonate:
Sodium carbonate is an effective and magical substance in removing accumulations in the sink. Put a tablespoon of sodium carbonate in the sink and then pour a cup of white vinegar and you will find an amazing result.

3. Caustic soda:
The substance is added to the basin and then hot water is poured over it, but many precautions must be taken with this substance as it burns the skin and produces harmful fumes, so plastic gloves and masks must be worn and great caution must be taken.



4. Dismantle the drain area:
Sometimes there are some problems that can only be resolved by dismantling and cleaning the drain, which is the ideal, practical and safest solution for this.

For each drain pan, there is a piece of plastic or a dustpan to collect dirt. First of all, place a bucket of water under the area to be cleaned. Dismantle these plastic pieces and remember carefully how to arrange them by arranging them while dismantling them aside, then clean each piece separately and return it to its place, and make sure that no water leaks by opening the water in the sink.

If the piece under the drain basin is a white slate, the process is easier. All you have to do is pull the end of it from the side of the wall and clean it by moving it and running water on it, then return it to its place and make sure that there is no water leakage by turning on the water in the sink.

Note: While removing the plastic piece, you will come across a piece of leather in the form of rings. It is very important to put it back in its place and not lose any piece. In the event of any leakage, the reason may be that the leather piece is not in place or the pieces are not fastened well.

5. Clogged bathtub drain area:
In the event of a blockage, which is often caused by long hair, the solution is very easy. At the drain area, you will find a screw in the middle. Unscrew it with a screwdriver or using a coin, and then remove the piece of metal. You will find hair accumulated underneath it. Remove it by hand and then put it back together. Something as it was.

We always advise taking precautionary measures by not throwing dirt or fat into the sink and using a strainer in the wash basin. It is also recommended to use salt and then hot water on it almost daily to clean the drain.
