Store Bought Sink And Drain Cleaners
If you have a clogged sink drain, it could cause your whole kitchen to stink!
Store bought sink and drain cleaners could be harsh, but there are a few natural products that you could buy in the store or online that could help you immensely.
Lye is natural and is good for clogged drains. You can find Pure Lye Drain Opener for only $3.34 a pound. That's a lot cheaper than a plumber!
Another great product for unclogging drains is the Cobra Zip-It Drain Cleaning Tool.
I have one of these and I love it! I have been able to unclog my kitchen and bathroom drains every time with it.
You hold the handle and put the rest of the Zip-It down the drain. The zip it is covered with little knobby edges that grab anything that it touches in the drain.
When you pull the Zip-It back up, it pulls everything out of the drain that it touches. It's gross, but it works!
If you look at the picture to the right, I found a good deal.
They are selling on Amazon for only $2! Since you don't need a plumber or harsh chemicals, you will save tons of money and time with the Zip-It!
