5 Minute Fix. Unblocking Kitchen Pipes

5 Minute Fix. Unblocking Kitchen Pipes

Instructions

Every time you do the washing up scraps of food are getting washed down the plug hole, gathering together over weeks to fester in the U-bend. Which is why the water drains so slowly and it smells so bad.

Luckily we at Homeserve have come up with a five-minute fix to get your kitchen pipes free flowing and fresh again.

Step 1:
Find three Alka Seltzer tablets and crumble them down the plug hole.

Step 2:
Next pour in roughly 250 millimetres of vinegar. You'll be able to hear the fizzing as the chemical reaction happens, it might even foam up into the sink.

Step 3:
Leave it for a couple of minutes to do the work, then run the hot tap to rinse. That should have done the job but if you've still got a problem then you need to have a look at "How to unblock a sink" for more help. Sorted.

Done - we hope you enjoyed this tip!

Fixed - in five minutes!
