UNCLOG DRAINSIN SECONDSProfessional plumbers use a drain snake to

fix clogged pipes or they just dismantle the

trap. These methods are super effective, but

there is an easier way to pull out a clog which

is not too solid.

Use a flexible tool like the one shown on the

right. swirl it several times into the drain to

yank out the dirt. Probably you will be able to

suck the loosen clog out with a wet vacuum.

USE THE PROPERTOOL FORPLUMBINGDid you know that there are two types of

plumbers out there?

The one on the left side of the picture is used

for plumbing a toilet, and the right one is for

sinks. Many people use the latter for toilets,

which is wrong.

KEEP YOURFINGERNAILSCLEANIt is nearly impossible to keep your

hands clean when doing a dirty job.

To keep the area under your nails clean,

hold a soap with one hand and scratch

its surface with the other one. The soap

particles gathered under the nails will

keep these areas clean. When you are

finished with the dirty job, simply rinse

the soap off.

SILENT SCREENDOOR WHICHCLOSES LOUDLYScreen doors are light and people usually close

them with a bang. To avoid the irritating sound,

an ordinary silicone sealant comes to the aid.

Squeeze a few small beads of clear silicone

along the door frame at the contact points. Don't

forget to keep the door open until the silicone

has dried completely.
