PLEASE HELP ME POINTS FOR HELPFUL ANSWERS + BRAINLIEST So I do the dishes daily for my chores, and no one in my household rinses their dishes or even scrapes the food into the trash, so it is inevitable that some food will end up down the drain.

In my case since no one else does anything to prevent food from clogging the sink, I am the one blamed for when it gets clogged up. Well my parents got fed up with fixing it so as punishment my parents sent me outside and are making me write an essay on:

How sink drains can get clogged up and methods to fix them

(this has to be completed before I come back inside).

Kitchen sinks can be clogged for a few reasons, food hair, and other things. Overtime, buildup of these things lead to clogging.

A few methods to fix clogging are, baking soda mixture, plunging, and boiling water.

The first method, baking soda mixture, what you do is you pour a cup of baking soda and vinegar down the drain, and place a rubber stopper to cover the drain opening. Wait 10 or more minutes, and take out the stopper, and run hot tap water until it's unclogged.

The second method is plunging. Make sure the sink has enough water to submerge the plunger, and start plunging. While you are plunging, maintain a good seal to get the best results. This usually works, but sometimes it doesn't.

The last method is boiling water. Pour boiling water into the drain, then after a while, the clogged drain should unclog, if it doesn't repeat the process until necessary.

Wuh thats so unfair...

It may be necessary to clean your kitchen drain’s P-trap to clear the clog. The P-trap is at the curve of the drainpipe under the sink, usually inside a cabinet. Place a pan or bucket underneath the drain to catch any water or debris that may fall out. Unfasten the P-trap from the drainpipe and clear out anything that is stuck. Then replace and run water through it.
