There’s nothing nastier that a clogged drain! Kitchen clogs leave you with a sink full of dirty dishes and overflowing nasty water. Bathroom clogs are even worse. If you have the one bathroom in your house you have no option but to seek immediate help and find emergency plumbers to do the drain cleaning as fast as possible. If the blockages are mild the home owner can try some consumer products to remove and dissolve blockages.
Domestic drain cleaning products can contain caustic soda/ lye (sodium hydroxide). Although, caustic soda is not toxic it is a corrosive agent that can irritate the skin and soft tissues of the nose, throat and respiratory tract. Home owners can also use a mix of baking soda and vinegar to remove clogs. Most plumbers would advise you to maintain your drainage and sewage systems well to avoid large scale breakdowns and major clogs. Nowadays hardware stores and markets stock enzymatic biological drain cleaning agents that are eco-friendly and also quite effective. Using these enzyme mixes on your drains keep them unclogged and free from blockages.
Kitchen sinks get clogged with grease, food particles and solid matter like bones, eggshells etc. Throw away most kitchen garbage in a garbage bin. Do not use the kitchen waste disposal unit for all disposal purposes. Run hot water down sinks to loosen and clean out any accumulated clogs. Keep your garbage disposal unit clean and free from obstructions.
If you detect a blockage, remove the stopper or strainer at the mouth of the drain. Pour hot water to flush out the blockage. If it does not work, use a household plunger. Homeowners who keep snakes and augers can try using the snake or auger. Call the plumber if the clog seems stubborn. Foreign objects are often the cause for a blockage.
