A clogged drain is a common problem faced by all housewives. An unpleasant odor, accumulating dirt - all this can spoil the mood and create inconvenience.

However, do not rush to call a plumber! There are several simple and affordable ways to help you deal with the blockage yourself. Telegraf writes about it.

Baking soda and vinegar:

• This method is great for small clogs.
• Pour 1/4 cup of baking soda into the drain and pour 1/4 cup of vinegar into the drain.
• Close the drain with a stopper and let the mixture work for 10-15 minutes.

Washing powder:
