Chemicals found in supermarket or hardware store should be used sparingly and with caution. If used improperly, harsh products can damage the ceramic in toilet bowls and regular use can corrode pipes over time. More importantly, harsh chemicals in<strong> drain cleaners<\/strong> are very damaging to our environment and waterways. <\/span><span class=\"s2\"><br \/>\n<\/span> <span class=\"s2\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s1\">They are often very bad for you to breathe in and cause nasty chemical burns if it comes in contact with skin. We advise full safety precaution like working in a well-ventilated area; wearing long sleeves, rubber gloves and eye protection to protect your skin and eyes at all times when working with chemicals. <\/span><span class=\"s2\"><br \/>\n<\/span> <span class=\"s2\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s1\">Using a chemical drain cleaner for a one-off slow draining shower or sink can be considered, however, if the blockage or slow pipes issue reoccurs repeatedly, call your local trusted plumber for professional inspection, advice and drain clearing. <\/span><span class=\"s2\"><br \/>\n<\/span> <span class=\"s2\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s1\"><b>Boiling hot water <\/b>\u2013 Hot water works for blockages caused by grease buildup. Pour boiling hot water several times down the kitchen sink if you have to.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><span class=\"s2\"><br \/>\n<\/span> <span class=\"s2\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s1\"><b>Soda bicarbonate and vinegar<\/b> \u2013 easily available and cost effective, white vinegar and baking soda are a natural drain cleaner.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Let it sit in your drain for at least 30 minutes or leave it overnight to work on the accumulated debris in the kitchen or bathroom sink. Then, wash through with boiling water. <\/span><span class=\"s2\"><br \/>\n<\/span> <span class=\"s2\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s1\"><b>A plunger<\/b> \u2013 Plungers can be used in kitchen, bathroom or toilets and can solve not-so-serious blockages in the household.
