Eco Friendly Ways to Unclog a Sink

One of the first Eco Friendly Ways to Unclog a Sink is by using your household plunger.  Fill your sink halfway, and if you have a double sink make sure you cover the other sink hole with a washcloth or a stopper (this will create the necessary suction for the clogged sink).  Now with your trusty plunger use the plunger in an up and down motion quickly.  Continue until the item gets dislodged or the drain clears.

If the first attempt does not work, try the second Eco Friendly Ways to Unclog a Sink.  Using vinegar and baking soda, pour about 3/4 cups of baking soda down the drain followed by 1/2 cup of vinegar and cover with a stopper for about 30 minutes.  Once the time is up pour boiling hot water down the drain.  This should clear up the debris, you can try plunging again if needed.

Now if both steps fail try taking out the u-bend pipe below your sink.  First turn off the water and place a bucket under where you will remove the pipe.  Remove the u-shaped pipe and dislodge any goop that may cause the clog.
