A blockage in the drain hole of a sink or bathtub can appear at the most inopportune moment, and no one is immune from this. If you do not have special pipe cleaning products on hand, you will most likely have to disassemble the siphon. But there are other, ancient cleaning methods that were used by many during the Soviet era.

1 way to clear a clog - with water pressure

The first method is great for women. It is simple, does not require additional tools, and is always available.

Take a watering can and unscrew the hose from it. Please note that there is a rubber gasket inside, so do not lose it.

Next, turn on the hot water at full speed and rinse each hole in turn with a powerful stream of water.

In some cases, this will be enough for the water to begin to drain.

Cleaning method 2 - using a cable

If the first method does not help, let's move on to the second. Buy 2-3 meters of thin cable at a hardware or hardware store. This is not a shortage, it costs little.Take pliers, fluff the edge of the cable and bend the wires upward.

Next, stick this brush one by one into the drain hole. Scroll along its axis so that the hooks grab the clogged objects.

Now all that remains is to pull out all the debris. Basically it's hair and everything that gets caught on it.
