on the market one is a cup plunger and the other
a flange plunger.

6The most common of these two is the classic cup
type, or as we know it as, a sink plunger.
Youll need this plunger for sink clogs, but make
sure that it is in a good condition first.

7- Dont Plunge with Chemicals! If you have already
poured any kind of chemical down the drain, you
should not try plunging it afterward.

8- The plunging action will create a dangerous
splatter of these chemicals onto your clothes and
skin. It can also generate toxic fumes that are
harmful to your health. - Besides, using chemicals should be avoided
because it can corrode your pipes as well!

9- Drain excess water.
- It may be difficult to do because the drain is
blocked, but if you have too much water in the
sink while youre plunging, its going to make a
huge mess.

10- Seal it up tight!
- Its a common mistake to leave too much air in
the plunger. So if the plunger cup is full of
air, it compresses every time you press down and
act like a shock absorber.

11- This will defeat the point entirely. That is why
you need to keep some water to fill the plunger
cup. Use petroleum jelly to the rim of the
plunger as well to really make sure that you
create the perfect suction.

12- These are just a few small things that you can do
to make sure that you make the most of your sink
plunging attempts. If you find that it isnt
working, call in an expert and avoid the use of
chemicals because these can can burn skin,
clothing and pipes!
