At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we've put together a step-by-step guide on how to clean gunk from sink drains.

A clogged sink drain can cause a range of problems, from slow draining water to bad smells and even black sludge buildup. In the bathroom, a clogged drain can be particularly unpleasant, while in the kitchen, it can prevent you from washing dishes effectively. Regular cleaning can help prevent clogs and keep your sink drain flowing smoothly.

Before you start cleaning your sink drain, make sure you have the following materials:

• Baking soda
• Vinegar
• Hot water
• A drain snake or plumber's auger
• A pair of gloves
• A bucket or container
• Dish soap
• A cleaning cloth or sponge

Start by removing any large debris or food particles from the sink drain. Use a drain snake or plumber's auger to break up any clogs and remove any visible blockages.

Mix equal parts baking soda and vinegar to create a natural cleaning solution. Pour the mixture down the sink drain and let it sit for a few hours or overnight. The mixture will help break down any tough gunk and grime.

Pour hot water down the sink drain to rinse away the baking soda and vinegar mixture. Make sure the water is hot, but not boiling, as boiling water can damage some pipes.

Use a drain snake or plumber's auger to break up any remaining clogs or blockages. Feed the snake or auger into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.

Use a cleaning cloth or sponge to wipe down the sink drain and remove any remaining gunk or grime. Make sure to clean the drain thoroughly, paying particular attention to the drain cover and any other areas where gunk tends to accumulate.

To prevent clogs and keep your sink drain flowing freely, follow these tips:

• Run hot water through the drain on a regular basis to help break up any gunk or grime.
• Use a drain screen or filter to catch hair and other debris before they go down the drain.
• Avoid pouring grease or oil down the drain, as these can solidify and cause clogs.
• Use a natural cleaning solution, such as baking soda and vinegar, to clean your sink drain on a regular basis.
