What You’ll Need:
1 fresh egg
1 cup of baking soda
1 cup of white vinegar
1 to 2 liters of hot water
Steps to Follow:
Prepare the Egg: Beat it until smooth. It will play a key role in dissolving grease and residue stuck to pipe walls.
Pour the Egg: Slowly introduce it into the sink or drain in question. It will start working immediately by softening built-up deposits.
Add Baking Soda: Pour the cup of baking soda directly into the drain. This natural product will help gently dislodge debris.
Pour the Vinegar: When added to the baking soda, a chemical reaction will occur, creating foam that helps break down the clog.
Let It Work: Wait about 10 to 15 minutes for the ingredients to take effect.
Rinse with Hot Water: Heat 1 to 2 liters of water and slowly pour it down the drain to flush out any remaining debris.
Test the Flow: Run water from the faucet to check if the clog is gone. If the problem persists, repeat the process or use a plunger for a more thorough cleaning.
Is It Really Effective?
Yes, but under certain conditions! This technique works best for:
Minor clogs caused by grease, soap, or food residue buildup.
Preventative maintenance to keep drains clear and avoid major blockages.
Slow drainage issues before they turn into complete blockages.
However, if the clog is too severe (due to accumulated hair, trapped objects, or thick mineral deposits), this method may not be enough. In such cases, using a plumbing snake or calling a professional plumber may be necessary.
