Unclog that drain now

It is indeed irritating to find a clogged sink when you are in a hurry. There are several anti-clogging powders available that help you out in such emergencies. There are certain tricks that will keep your kitchen sink clear and not give rise to such situations.

Make it a point to pour a glass of very hot water down the drain every night before bedtime. This will wash out all the oily and greasy food stuff that sticks to the water pipes and keep it clean. Make sure that no food particles are left in the dishes before washing them in the sink to avoid clogging later.

Do you have a leaking tap?

I have some friends who just don’t bother about a leaking tap or a juicer that has stopped working in their house. How can they be at peace when something in their house is NOT working??

Whenever I have any such problem, I see to it that the electronic appliance or anything that needs attention is repaired. Even if you don’t need certain things in your routine chores, it is important that they are in working condition. This way you are saved from trouble later on when you actually wish to use it.

What do you think- am I right?

How to have a dry bathroom always!

It is indeed irritating to step on to a wet bathroom floor. I was always thinking about some way to get rid of this. I found a very simple answer to this- keep the exhaust fans switched on till the time you get out of the bathroom! This way the air flows freely and dries up the wet surfaces fast. You get a cleaner and drier bathroom in minutes. A dry bathroom does not need frequent cleaning too, so I save some time in doing that.

Now I don’t need to stand around with a mop to clean up every time the bathroom is used!
