Unclog pipes and tubes

However, it is very important that you be very careful when pouring the bleach and only do the operation protected with gloves, stay away from the bleach at all times and if possible protect your eyes.
Oxidation of faucets in beach houses
Plumbing trick: To avoid oxidation in taps in houses near the sea, the trick is to spread Vaseline on the taps when we are going to be away for a certain time. When we return, we will carefully clean the Vaseline, and thus we will be able to enjoy always new taps for a long time.
Unclog sink
Plumbing trick: The first thing you have to do is check if the clogged sink is not full of hair. If it’s stuck with hair, remove it with a small wire, clip, or bobby pin. Then protect the color of the ceramic in the sink by smearing Vaseline on the drain opening. Protect yourself with rubber gloves, take a little chemical plunger with a spoon and pour hot water to drag the solution to the drain pipe. Take care not to breathe the vapor from the chemical plunger.
