Blocked Drains Edinburgh

Are you tired of dealing with a slow-draining kitchen sink in your East Lothian home? Grease buildup is a common culprit behind clogged drains, but fortunately, it's relatively easy to clean and prevent future blockages. In this article, we'll provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to clean grease from your kitchen sink drain.

Grease and food particles can accumulate in your kitchen sink drain, causing a blockage that restricts water flow. If left unchecked, this can lead to a complete blockage, requiring costly and time-consuming repairs. By cleaning your drain regularly, you can prevent these issues and keep your sink draining smoothly.

To clean grease from your kitchen sink drain, follow these simple steps:

1. Boiling Water: Pour a kettle of boiling water down the drain to help loosen any grease and debris.
2. Baking Soda and Vinegar: Mix equal parts baking soda and vinegar to create a natural cleaning solution. Pour the mixture down the drain and let it sit for a few hours or overnight. The mixture will help break down the grease and food particles.
3. Hot Water: After the mixture has sat for a few hours, pour another kettle of hot water down the drain to rinse it thoroughly.
4. Plunger or Drain Snake: If the blockage persists, use a plunger or drain snake to help dislodge any remaining debris.

To keep your kitchen sink drain clean and clear, consider the following tips:

• Regular Cleaning: Clean your drain regularly using the method above to prevent grease buildup.
• Dispose of Grease Properly: Dispose of grease and food particles in the bin, rather than pouring them down the drain.
• Use a Drain Screen: Install a drain screen to catch any food particles and debris before they enter the drain.
