A blocked sink is a problem that can cause a lot of frustration. Sinks and drainage pipes can become blocked easily: hair can block the shower drain; coffee grounds, tea leaves, and vegetable peelings can get stuck in the kitchen sink; washing greasy pans or tipping oil down the sink can create oily clogs that catch other debris; and, if you have small children in the house, it’s not unusual to find small toys pushed into the drain or down the toilet.

The best way to unblock the sink or drain will depend on what debris that is causing the blockage. Many people will try a homemade remedy first before trying a commercial brand of sink unblocked.

Hair stuck in the shower drain or veggie peelings in the kitchen sink can often be easily reached with your hands or by using a simple hook made from a bent metal coat hanger.

Once the debris has been removed, insert a simple drain sieve, available from all DIY centers, this will catch any debris in the future and prevent you from having the same problem again.

This is a popular homemade solution for a sink unblocked, and it is likely you already have the ingredients you need in your kitchen cupboard. First, pour baking soda into the drain.

Leave it for a few moments to soak up any oil or grease. Then follow on with an equal amount of vinegar. This combination will create a chemical reaction causing bubbles to be formed, which in turn will dislodge the debris.

After about 20 minutes, running the hot tap (or pouring down some boiling water) should flush away the drain blockage completely. Care should be taken if you have gold or chrome-plated sink accessories, as the mixture is mildly caustic and may tarnish the plating.

Also, take care if your pipework is plastic, as boiling water may cause an expansion in the pipework and loosen the joints. If you have any doubts, don’t do this yourself but call in the experts in Canford Magna–Pro Blocked Drains.

Sink unblockers are very effective at removing blockages and are also safe for the environment as they won’t harm septic tanks or sewers. They should not be used on toilets, though, as they may cause them to overflow, which could result in serious damage being done.

Sink unblockers are typically applied neat – there’s no need to dilute the product. Products like Domestos Sink and Pipe Unblocker use fast-acting bacteria enzymes to break down fats and oils, leaving behind only water and CO2.

The product can be used for blocked sinks, toilets, and shower drains but should not be used for internal drains where there could be a risk of fire or explosion (e.g., heating systems).
