Note: This trick works only with wet and dry vacuum cleaners. You may also need someone to help you switch the machine on and off.

? Take a hose and insert it into the drain. It’s better to use a special cup that’s like a plunger for better suction. You can buy it or make it yourself from a regular plunger.

? Switch the vacuum cleaner on and wait for the clog to loosen up. Pay attention to the sound — if the clog is still there, it’ll be different from the sound the machine makes when it’s just sucking air.

? Vacuum until you remove the clot (the sound should change when that happens). Make sure you don’t vacuum for too long as not to damage the pipes or the vacuum cleaner. You can try to imitate the plunger’s movements to speed the unclogging process. Just be careful not to crack the pipes.

? Turn off the vacuum cleaner and turn on the hot water to check if the blockage is gone.

? Be careful and use this method only as a last resort.
