UNCLOG DRAINS
Professional plumbers use a drain snake to
SECONDS IN
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.

THE PROPER USE
FOR TOOL
Did you know that there are two types of
PLUMBING
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.

YOUR KEEP
FINGERNAILS
It is nearly impossible to keep your
CLEAN
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.

SCREEN SILENT
WHICH DOOR
Screen doors are light and people usually close
LOUDLY CLOSES
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.
