Heres a step-by-step guide on how to clear a
clogged kitchen sink. Follow these steps properly
and youll surely fix the problem ASAP.

• Scoop the water out so you can inspect the drain.
  Check if there are food particles blocking the
  hole and remove them if there are. Turn the
  faucet on to check if that solves the issue.

• If the clog is in the pipe, try a popular home
  remedy baking soda and vinegar. Pour a cup of
  baking soda into the drain then pour a cup of
  vinegar. Plug the hole and let the two
  ingredients create a chemical reaction.

9

• Wait for a few minutes as the baking soda and
  vinegar combination fizzes out the sticky
  particles on the pipe walls. When you no longer
  hear any fizzing sound, pour a kettle of boiling
  water to wash away the ingredients.

10

• If the clog persists, its time to make use of
  your good old plunger. Put some water in the sink
  to ensure that the plungers rubber part gets
  soaked. Position it right in the middle of the
  hole and start plunging in a consistent pace.
  Repeat for about 15 times then test if the clog
  was removed.

• When the blockage is too stubborn, make use of
  your plumbing snake. Detach the trap under the
  sink and insert the snake. Turn the crank
  clockwise to further insert the snake. Keep on
  pushing the wire until the clog is broken into
  tinier pieces.

If youve done all these methods and the problem
still persists, theres probably an issue with
your vents or the clog must be severe. Call a
professional to help you get through this
plumbing issue.
