Blocked sink

You should buy a drain plug while you are out buying a new plunger.

Put your baking soda down there and then put vinegar. The mixture should expand and push things through although I would fish out any solids that you can. Good luck with this. There should be harsh payout on behalf of the offender.

I agree weith the baking soda and vinegar. It should clear it. Mine tend to be blocked by my 12 yo hair and this is no easy feat to remove! I hope this wasn't a testament to your cooking skills lol

I usually will regularly pour boiling water into my sink to prevent my sink from minor blockages - bits of food that manage to get past the sink hole filter. For major blockages which even the pump can't clear, then I will have to unscrew the works and clear it all out manually. As to how to prevent sink from blocking especially when it is stuffed by the things you mentioned I really have no idea except to help your kids understand that they shouldn't be stuffing things down the sink because it causes alot of trouble for poor mommy!

often i will just use a plunger however that has caused problems once, where it killed the pipes and i had to have someone fix them. my grandmother likes to use bleach.

I think it would. But can you not just remove the muffins with your hands? Then use a manual pump to clear the clog?

Hi Rainbow. I have the same problems, but it is the birdies who do these things, with peanut shells and anything light enough to be dumped in the sink! I find using a fine mesh plug hole cover catches the mess before it reaches the plug hole, but you have to be careful because if one of the little darlings turns the tap on you are likely to be flooded out. I use white vinegar in boiling water on gungy plug holes and that works reasonably well, but the steam does my eyes in if I get too close to it. I used to keep my niece and nephew in a restricted area when they ate, but I made a game out of it so that they did not notice they were doing as they were told, and that stopped a lot of the food migration. I hope that some of these ideas is helpful and good luck :-)

hi! my sink is probably hungrier than yours coz my kids fed it a couple of marbles! we couldn't use the sink for a whole week till the handyman came to unclog it. now, i put a little wire strainer on the hole so that if anything "accidentally" falls into it, it stays on the strainer and it's easier to scoop out.

The best way to stop the blocking of the draim......get rid of the kids no chemicals needed lol. I dont in any situation actually support the statement above it is purely for entertainment purposes so laugh.

maybe the kids fed the plunger to the sink. HAHAHAHA!!! try looking on this site for help unclogging drains. http://heloise.com/ HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!
