Product Information

Anything of a nature that for hygiene or associated health and safety - this includes the Outdoor Spas, Mattresses and Divan Sets The Ridgid may be more expensive than liquid or gel cleaners, but it can be used time and again. And it's actually relatively simple to use once you get the hang of the directions. (We recommend watching the brand's tutorial first.) The tool has ergonomic handles that make it easy to rotate the cable down the drain line to break up and clear clogs lodged there. First, empty surplus water from the sink by using a jug or soaking it up with a sponge. 2) Plunge it To use a plunger effectively (you might want to try a sink-specific plunger), plug the overflow opening with a soft cloth and fill the basin with enough water to cover the plunger cup. Coat the rim of the cup with petroleum jelly and place over the plughole.

Carefully pour the drain cleaner to avoid spills. The caustic nature of some chemical cleaners can damage surrounding stone, marble, stainless steel and other materials. Never mix drain cleaners with other cleaning products — even homemade — or pour a second cleaner down if the first doesn't work. The chemical reaction can cause toxic gas or even an explosion. The best way to narrow down the best option for you would be to consider a handful of key things.

In both attempts, the mixture of bicarbonate soda (125g), salt (125g) and vinegar (125ml) seemed to do nothing but fizz and spit in the plughole. Drain protector Get a drain protector to catch stray bits of food residue before they disappear down the plughole.Having trouble eradicating a clogged toilet with a good old-fashioned plunger? A toilet auger may well succeed where a plunger didn’t. It's a much safer alternative than a regular drain snake, too — these tools can cause damage to the porcelain, especially if you're not experienced in using one. Scrape plates Make sure you remove food residue from your plates, bowls and utensils before you put them in the sink.

Precisely follow all directions on a drain cleaner's label. Be sure the room is well-ventilated. Do not leave the drain cleaner inside the drain for longer than stated in the instructions. Cooking fats, oils and grease should not be put down the sink. Pour used fat and oil into a container, such as a jam jar or yoghurt pot to cool then scrape it into the bin. Wipe up small amounts with paper or kitchen roll and bin it. Your sink will be able to drain properly again without being frustratingly slow when the water runs away.

Clean greasy plates with kitchen roll rather than rinsing them or putting them in the dishwasher, as that grease would then flow down the plughole. Just consider the application before using this product to clear up any old drain issue. "This one is an oxidizing cleaner, so it's very tough on organic matter like hair and food, but less so on grease," says Rachel Rothman, chief technologist of the Good Housekeeping Institute.
