What You’ll Need:
Egg white (from 1 egg)
Dish soap (5 tablespoons)
Baking soda (2 tablespoons)
White vinegar (3 ounces, approximately ½ cup)
Hot water (4 cups, not boiling)
How to Unclog Your Sink:
Prepare the egg white solution
Crack an egg into a container and separate the yolk.
Add 5 tablespoons of dish soap to the egg white.
Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Remove excess water
If the sink is clogged and filled with water, remove as much water as possible to ensure the solution works effectively.
Add baking soda
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of baking soda directly into the sink drain.
Pour vinegar
Slowly pour 3 ounces of white vinegar over the baking soda. The mixture will fizz, helping to break down clogs.
Add hot water
Follow up with 4 cups of hot water to flush the drain. The hot water activates the reaction, loosening and clearing obstructions in the pipes.
Cover for faster action (optional)
If you have plastic wrap, cover the sink drain to trap heat and speed up the process.
Let it sit
Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes, letting the effervescent reaction and steam clear the clog.
Check the drain
Gradually, you’ll see the water draining smoothly.
