How to unclog your bathroom sink easily
Definitely, at some point in the past, you had a problem with rinsing your bathroom sink and called an obstruction company, but not the right one, like – Αποφράξεις Αντωνίου.
Our extensive experience in the field has taught us that rinsing a bathroom sink can often be treated effectively by yourself. Before using any of the commercial blocking liquids, we want to suggest some natural ways to block a sink.
Chemical blocking liquids, in addition to irreparably damaging the environment, cause enormous damage to the pipes in your home. Some types of piping, they can even puncture with the use of blocking chemicals, with unpleasant consequences, such as leaks and flooding!
The sink is buzzing! Why?
The bathroom sink often clogs due to frequent daily use, so you need to flush the sink. There are several times when the problem can progress and cause a blockage in the sewer. Then, you need to block with special equipment from a blocking company. Usually the clogging of the bathroom sink caused by hair, accumulated fat soap, small objects and pieces of paper. A
ll this creates a kind of slime, which collects inside the pipes and gradually blocks them. Many times, imperfections also play a big role in the installation of pipes. The closed corners in the pipe joints favour the concentration of all the above. As a result, you need to rinse the bathroom sink much more often. Finally, the sink may not work properly due to the floor siphon.
If the siphon does not draw enough water from the sink, there will probably be a smell in the bathroom siphon.
Natural ways to rinse a bathroom sink
Fill the sink with water, as long as it covers the head of the suction cup. Remove if there is a protective net for the hair and then place the suction cup on the hole where the water leaves. To make better contact you can put a little Vaseline to apply better. With quick movements, you make the suction cup up and down.
In this way, you create a vacuum that drains the dirt and achieves the flush of the sink. Then remove the suction cup and check that the water flow has become normal to the drain… If it has not returned to normal, then repeat the process.
Finally, after you finish the process, pour 3 to 4 litres of boiling water, to carry the smallest residue from the pipes. Do not forget to replace the protective net is about garbage.
Rinse the sink with hot water
Another way that can be effective in several cases is to rinse the bathroom sink with hot water. A fairly large amount of hot water can soften the residue and carry it away. This technique is suitable for metal pipes. Tubes of plastics as PVC, can soften and cause serious damage. But if you want to try it, at least make sure that the water does not exceed 80 degrees Celsius. Pour the water directly into the mouth of the sink and not into the porcelain, because there is a chance that it will cause damage. Repeat the same process as many times as needed for a successful one sink flush.
Bathtub flush with soda and vinegar
An effective way to rinse the sink is to use vinegar, combined with baking soda. Put a full cup of baking soda in the sinkhole and let it spread in the tube for about 10 minutes. Then pour a cup of vinegar, and plug the hole with a cloth. The foam produced by the chemical compound of these 2 components, spreads with pressure in the clogged pipes and entices several residues. The acidity of vinegar also softens grease residue from soaps, making this combination the ideal solution for several cases involving rinsing the bathroom sink… Finally, you can pour a large dose of hot water to better clean the inside of the pipes. You can repeat this process often, without the need to wait for the sink to clog, as a precaution.
Rinse the bathroom sink with wire
Pull a piece of wire to its edge using pliers, like a hook. Insert the bent side into the sink siphon and push it slowly into the pipe. When you feel the spot where the plug is, shake it in and out with gentle movements, trying to remove hair and debris. Pay close attention to your movements, so as not to cause any damage to the pipe joints. Then pour a pot of hot water into the sink to remove the hair and anything else you managed to detach from the pipe with the wire. If the depth caused is the sink plug is large and the wire is not long enough, then you will need a special workshop with steel or watering machines. These tools reach a depth of several meters without any problems at all, making rinsing a bathroom sink an easy task.
Unclog the sink using chemicals
Our advice would be to avoid as much as possible the solution of the chemical blocking liquids of the trade. What about chemical barriers? The chemicals are caustic substances several times can dissolve debris that causes blocking, but may cause irreparable destruction to the pipes. They are also harmful to the environment, as they cross the aquifer.
Detergent rinsing by specialists
If you tried the suggested methods and did not succeed in rinsing the bathroom sink, then the blockage is not superficial. If the plug is deep inside the piping network, then you need a special blocking workshop. Our company provides obstructive services 24 hours per 24 hour period, all over Athens. We come to your place for rinsing a bathroom sink, at a very low cost, immediately and leaving your space spotless. So you can be sure that the problem will not return after a few days. We can use our special micro cameras, to see exactly where the pipes have become blocked, to save time and money from unnecessary actions.

How to make distilled water at home for free
You just need basic cookware to get started making your own distilled water.
Steve Conaway/CNET
Distilled water can be incredibly useful to have around. Your aquarium, car maintenance, humidifier, CPAP machines or other health-related equipment can all require or benefit from distilled water.
If you don’t have sufficient access to distilled water right now — your local grocery is out of stock or you’re just trying to do your part by social distancing — you’re not out of luck. I’m going to take you through the different types of water you drink, and the steps for creating your very own unlimited supply of distilled water at home. The best part is you probably don’t need to buy anything to do it.

What is distilled water?
If you don’t know the difference between tap, filtered, purified and distilled water, don’t feel bad. It’s confusing.
Tap water is the easy one. Turn on your kitchen faucet. Voila! Tap water. The quality of tap water varies by location, and might contain traces of minerals specific to the geology of your region, as well as traces of chemicals used on municipal water treatment. Hopefully your tap water is safe to drink, but over 45 million Americans don’t have that luxury. Filtered water is one solution.
Filtered water starts out as plain tap water. You may already have filtered water in your home by way of a whole house filtration system, a faucet filter or a water filtration pitcher (you can even get a filtered water bottle). Most filtered water passes through some combination of carbon and micron filters, which help to remove chemicals such as chlorine (commonly added to municipal tap water as a disinfectant) or pesticides, and metals like copper or lead. Filters can also eliminate foul odors and tastes.
Purified water usually begins as tap water as well. It will go through many purification processes, including those used for water filtration. Purified water goes a step further than filtering, with a process that removes chemical pollutants, bacteria, fungi, and algae. You’ll often find purified water in bottles at your local grocery.
Distilled water is a more specialized type of purified water, but much easier and cheaper to produce at home. As with purified water, it meets the classification requirement of 10ppm (parts per million of total dissolved solids, aka, contaminants) or less. The process of distilling is simple. Heat tap water to the point that it turns to vapor. When the vapor condenses back to water, it leaves behind any mineral residue. The resulting condensed liquid is distilled water.
Is distilled water safe to drink every day?
The downside of distilling is that it removes all of the helpful stuff that occurs naturally in tap water. For that reason, it isn’t generally recommended to use distilled water as your daily drinking water.
You also need to choose any storage container you use for distilled water carefully. Distilled water’s lack of nutrients can cause it to leach chemicals from the container it’s stored in. If you plan to use the water immediately, most containers will do fine, but for long term storage it’s best to use glass or high-quality stainless steel.

How to make your own distilled water at home
Not to get too science-y here, but this is exciting for me. We’ll be using water in all three of its known states — solid, liquid and gas.
The gist is this: You heat water (liquid), turn it into water vapor (gas), then collect the condensation with the aid of ice (solid). It’s like middle school science class all over again. You’ll likely find everything you need in your kitchen. A large pot, a lid for the large pot, a small pot, water, ice and oven mitts for handling the hot cookware.
It does take some time for all this science to happen, so be prepared. In my example below, I started with 8 cups of water in the large pot. After one hour, I had produced about 1 1/4 of a cup of distilled water. To recreate a gallon jug that you’d find in the supermarket you’d need about 13 hours of distilling time.
If you follow these steps, you should get near 100% yield, but whatever amount of distilled water you want to end up with, make sure you add additional water so you can avoid heating an empty pot(s) at the end of the process, which can damage some cookware.
Steve Conaway/CNET
1. First, place the large pot over a stovetop burner and add 8 cups of water. Then, place the smaller pot inside the large pot. At this point the smaller pot should float on top of the water. The key to circulating water vapor inside the large pot is airflow. Make sure the smaller pot has plenty of it, both around its sides and between it and the top of the larger pot.
2. Next, turn the burner to somewhere between medium and medium-high heat. I specifically tried to avoid actually boiling the water and tried to keep the heat level at a steady simmer — somewhere between 180-200 degrees Fahrenheit. Running a higher temperature won’t get you a higher yield, but it will warm up the cold side of the lid faster, and make general handling of the equipment harder to deal with.
3. After you put the burner on, place the lid upside-down on the large pot. Lids are usually higher in the middle than around the edges. Flipping the lid will allow for the condensed distilled water to trickle down to the middle of the lid and into the smaller pot. Once all this is done, head over to your ice maker (or tray) and load the top of the inverted lid with ice. The difference in temperature on both sides of the lid will speed up the condensation process.
Steve Conaway/CNET
4. At this point, you can sit back and wait. I ended up replenishing the ice supply twice within an hour, once at the half-hour mark, and once after 45 minutes. This is what you need the oven mitts for — that lid will be hot! Use caution when dumping that now-hot melted ice.
Steve Conaway/CNET
5. Any water that has dripped down into the smaller pot has now been distilled. Again, I was able to make about a cup and a quarter of distilled water in this time.
Just remember, making your own distilled water is easy (and fun!), but lack of nutrients makes it a bad choice for daily drinking water. But if you’re stuck at home and you rely on a device that requires it, or perhaps you just want to keep your fish healthy, you likely have the means to make it yourself.

Add Colours, Volume or Length with Hair Extensions at 30% Off!
Got a special occasion or event coming up? Always envy others rocking with striking hair colours that are bleached but hesitant to try cause it may damage your precious tresses? Well, Hair Extensions may be your solution!
Hair Extensions come in strands of hair that are clipped, sewn or glued to your natural hair to add colours, volume or length; they can be made of natural or synthetic hair. My last visit to H4U Salon was to try adding some colours to my hair without bleaching. Since it is my first time having Hair Extensions and I am so in love with it, I am really excited to share my experience with you gals and answer some FAQs:
What Is The Procedure of Hair Extensions Like?
Depending on your concerns whether it is to add Colours, Volume or Length, you may need 2 sessions with H4U Salon as the hair salon uses 100% natural human hair and needs to customize according to your request. The salon does not use Synthetic Hair Extensions as they can’t take heat styling well and tend to tangle easily.
Offering customers a tailor-made approach, your 1st visit to the hair salon will be to discuss the Hair Extension options eg the colours you like, with the stylist and to find out the estimated cost. If you are comfortable with the price, you can then fix another date so that the stylist can prepare the Hair Extensions in advance to fix them on your next visit.
Since followers of Luxury Haven get a Special 30% Off All Hair Services at H4U Salon, I strongly recommend you to take advantage of the offer during your 1st visit to enjoy a Nice Wash and Blow etc. This way, you can see if you are comfortable with the stylist before making a commitment for the Hair Extensions. You may be pleased to know that Wash and Blow starts from just SGD 20 for Short Hair, and the price is before the 30% Off!
H4U Salon uses Micro Rings for Hair Extensions. During my visit, I had about 30 strands of Hair Extensions clipped onto my natural hair using Micro Rings initially just to test it out. I felt quite comfortable, and both stylist and myself felt I could have more colours, so he added another 30 strands of Hair Extensions. Including wash, trimming and styling, the entire session took about 3 hours. 60 strands may sound a lot, but surprisingly they appeared to be lesser than I thought after fixing. I was told clients usually ask for 100+, with some up to 200 strands of Hair Extensions!
How Long Can Hair Extensions Last?
Typically, Hair Extensions can last for as long as 2 – 3 months if you are good at taking care of them; that is to wash your hair gently by massaging instead of “ scrubbing ”. Depending on how fast your hair grows, it is usually time to remove when it grows by about 1.5 inches. That is when the natural hair colour at the roots start showing.
Which Type of Hair Extensions?
Previously using Fusion Hair Extensions which requires bonding strands of hair onto the natural hair, H4U Salon has since switched to using Micro Rings Hair Extensions as they do not require heat nor glue for attachment, thus reducing damage to your natural hair. They are easy to remove unlike Fusion Hair Extensions where it can be a painful process and hair may drop during removal.
Also with Micro Rings Clip-In Hair Extensions, you can play around with colours on the spot. If you change your mind after adding the desired colours, stylist can always remove and place them at another part to test it out. With Fusion Hair Extensions, you are unable to do that once they are glued.
Thanks to H4U Salon, I was happily showing off my Hair Extensions during a recent Fattoria Betti 4-course media dinner & wine tasting event at Casa Tartufo with my lovely guest. With only about 1,200 bottles of Merlot in production, we had the pleasure of tasting the Rosso di Toscana IGT “Semel” 2015 paired with Char-Grilled Ribeye Steak.
I also brought along streaks of colour to Jewel Changi Airport, awed by the world’s tallest indoor waterfall at 40 metres high – the HSBC Rain Vortex.
My Thoughts:
I am in love with my Hair Extensions, adding colours to my hair without using any chemical dyes to my natural hair! I like how my stylist mixed and matched different shades of pink, red and purple, although I gotta admit I was intimidated in the beginning when I saw shocking pink among the strands being the conservative me. Nonetheless, I trusted the team of stylists there, who had assured me that the colours will not be too loud when placed on my hair, and I am really happy with the outcome.
I was also skeptical about having Hair Extensions initially and worried my scalp may be painful or I may have trouble sleeping as the clips may get in the way. I was surprised I did not feel the Micro Rings when I lay on my pillow during my sleep. They are not heavy at all and it is quite comfortable too; just avoid scratching your scalp. So far, my hair did not tangle like what I have heard from others; not sure if it is due to the fact that I am using real human hair and not synthetic ones. It could also be because I only had 60 strands clipped on. But if you are experiencing any discomfort or pain after the Hair Extensions, inform your hair stylist immediately and get it rectified on the spot.
Be sure to seek a proper professional or your hair extension could be a nightmare. Although Synthetic Hair Extensions are a cheaper option, H4U Salon uses 100% real human hair which can be more expensive but your extensions will have a natural look and easier to style.

Hand washing tips: How to clean your hands to protect against coronavirus
To get truly clean hands, don’t rush through the process.
Getty Images
The spread of the deadly coronavirus is scary, but health officials say that you can protect yourself from getting sick or spreading germs with a few simple tactics. Avoid handshakes, sneeze or cough into your elbow and above all else, wash your hands.
While there’s been a frenzy of people buying hand sanitizer (or making their own), the CDC says that your best bet is to wash your hands often and long enough each time.
Read more: 7 hand soaps to fight germs, from cheap to luxury
I didn’t think I’d ever have to write an article explaining how to do something we’re all taught to do as kids, but the truth is that we don’t wash our hands often enough or well enough. Even worse, some of us (mostly men) don’t do it at all after using the bathroom and that’s plain gross. You should wash your hands after using the restroom, before eating, before and after handling food, after coughing and sneezing and after handling trash (here’s a full list of situations the require hand washing).
Not only is properly washing your hands easy, it’s also extremely effective at stopping the spread of disease. It requires less than 30 seconds and prevents you, your kids, your spouse, friends, coworkers and even people you don’t know from getting sick.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has simple directions for doing it:
1. Wet your hands with clean water. It doesn’t matter if it’s hot or cold, use whatever is comfortable for you.
2. Apply soap to your hands. Soap cleans your hands better than just using water. According to the FDA, you don’t even have to use antibacterial soap — any kind will do.
3. Rub your hands together to lather up the soap, then turn off the tap to save water.
4. Spread the lather to the backs of your hands and in between your fingers. Try to get it under your fingernails too — bonus points if you use a nail brush to remove more dirt and germs.
5. Now scrub your hands together for at least 20 seconds. If you don’t want to count out those seconds, sing the Happy Birthday song to yourself twice without rushing through it. You can also sing the chorus these other songs or figure out how much of your favorite song to sing while doing it. The point is not to rush.
6. Rinse your hands completely with clean water.
7. Dry your hands using a clean towel or an air dryer. Some studies have shown that paper towels are more hygienic than air dryers, but most agree that drying your hands right after washing them is important to stop the spread of germs no matter how you do it.
Tip: If you’re in public restroom and have access to paper towels, use a clean towel to open the restroom door as you leave. That will shield your hands from the germs of people who left without washing their hands.

World of Beauty Fascinating 3-Step Wonder Skin Beauty Routine
All of us yearn for a nice complexion, but do you know that behind that glowing skin needs a little bit of hard work besides inheriting good genes?
Basically, there are a few essential steps you should not miss in your daily skincare routine and here is a simple 3-step beauty regimen by World of Beauty, a Natural and Organic skincare brand equipped with international patented technology aimed to help each skin type.
For the busy executives and those of you who do not like to use too many products on your face, this 3-Step Wonder Skin Beauty Routine consists of just a cleanser, serum and moisturizer; the three basic vital skincare products for your face:
- Cleanser – Clean skin is a happy skin, so always start your skincare regime with a good cleanser to wash away any excess dirt and oil.
- Serum – Invest in a good serum. This magic potion is a super-concentrated skincare must-have that addresses specific concerns such as dry skin and fine lines.
- Moisturizer – This is a product that everyone should have regardless of whether you have dry or oily skin, and it should be a part of your morning and night skincare regimen. Moisturizers help hydrate your skin and also balance your skin’s natural oil production.
In the past, toners were made to help return the skin’s pH due to harsh soaps used during cleansing but these days, facial cleansers are so much better balanced than toners, so you can opt to skip this step if you prefer.
A good skincare routine starts with good cleansing. During the day, our skin surface accumulates both external and internal toxins and contamination such as pollution, makeup, dead skin cells, toxins from sweat glands, excess of sebum secretion from sebaceous glands and so forth. Cleansing twice a day keeps your skin looking radiant and healthy, and encourages proper skin hydration and prevents the production of excess oils. Cleansing also helps your treatments penetrate and work properly, and do you know that forgoing night time cleansing will give you larger pores?
Also, any skin type can have problems with dehydration, whether it is dry, oily, or combination. Dehydrated skin should not be confused with dry skin. Dehydrated skin lacks radiance, and can give you a wrinkled and aged look. Choosing a good cleanser such as the REVIVA Eau Micellaire can help manage pH levels of the skin; enabling sufficient water and product retention.
REVIVA Micellar Water is formulated with organic certified (bio) micelles, gentle microscopic oil molecules suspended in ionized water and pure fresh Australian Aloe Extract. Unlike your usual cleanser, REVIVA Eau Micellaire does not foam. Instead, the micelles dissolve dirt and any makeup traces, while respecting skin hydro lipidic skin system and barrier, and help rebuild the skin’s hydrolipidicfilm.
The wonder water is a favourite in a makeup artist’s kit and backstage for its easy, fast and effective use:
- 99,46% botanical ingredients
- 94,30% organic certified ingredients
- 100% easy and fast foundation remover
- 83,33% skin brighter after cleansing.
Next, let us take a look at Serums. Do we really need one? Sure, a moisturizer will do its job to hydrate our skin and so forth, but your serum can perform better tasks by targeting more specific concerns depending on the ingredients they are formulated with. Using highly concentrated active ingredients, some serums aim to give antioxidant benefits, while others may help in lightening dark spots and diminishing the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
Here is a serum especially for uneven skin tone and texture, dullness and loss of radiance. The World of Beauty DNADerm MMP Remedy Serum is a unique authentic epigenetic formulation that gives the skin all vital nutrients for a healthier skin. With vital plant-based skinfood like Centaurea and Acacia Flower stem cells extracts for a healthier to skin appearance, use this serum day and night to fight actively against matrix metalloproteinase (MMP), involved in the degradation of cell matrix.
The DNADerm MMP Remedy Serum provides the skin with a powerful source of revitalization, able to reduce inflammation, dark circles and lighten dark spots, while strengthening skin defence system to prevent skin disease caused by sun exposure.
After getting hold of a good cleanser and serum, we would also want to look at the importance of having a proper Moisturizer in your skincare routine. As mentioned earlier, you need a suitable lotion or cream for moisturizing your skin irrespective of what type of skin you have. This will help to protect your skin from harmful effects of sun and other environmental factors, and at the same time act as a temporary barrier as moisturizers hold water in the outermost layer of skin.
Thanks to the pure aromatherapy, the World of Beauty range of skincare products such as the Jeunesse Recovery Cream infused with Pure Organic Linden Flowers and Grape Extracts, are proven to soothe and smooth skin complexion. Its revitalizing mineral-rich formula helps to diminish the damages of skin cellular memory, caused by pollution, oxidative stress and UV rays exposure. Jeunesse Recovery Cream also contains Avena Sativa, with exfoliating capabilities to eliminate complexion-dulling dead skin cells.
An Advanced Day and Night Recovery Cream especially for uneven skin tone, the Jeunesse Recovery Cream Main Natural Ingredients Key Actions are:
- Succynoglycan Complex – the precious botanical extract of Polygonum Cuspidatum, an oriental medicinal grass, enhances the skin with a powerful soothing, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant action, eliminating up to 100% of damage caused by free radicals in 28 days of use.
- Purest Bio Jojoba ( Golden Grade ) – offers a long-lasting nourishing and elastifying action to the skin, thanks to its large concentration with a high percentage of Omega-9 and monounsaturated fatty acid, which is absorbed into the skin through the pilosebaceous metabolism.
- Cyanus Segetum Extract – extract rich in anthocyanins and pure bioflavonoids to help decongesting the skin and eye contour in case of irritation, redness and/or external polluting factors.
- Resveratrol – contained in the fresh extract of Vitis Vinifera Europea, the ingredient helps minimising neuronal DNA damage with a biocellular anti-age action in addition to its proven antioxidant action.
- Korean Sparassis Crispa Extract – A key active principle present in Jeunesse Recovery Cream showed a visible reduction of cell damage caused by exposure to UV rays in 96 hours (test microfluorescence cometassay).

Using 100% Italian Authentic formulas which are paraben-free, paraffin-free, cruelty-free, efficacy tested and microbiological certified, the Italian beauty powerhouse has become one of the top choices for spa, beauty salons and beauty institutes.

Addictive Deep-Fried Wontons with Chives Recipe ( 韭菜鮮肉炸云吞 )
If you like fried food, you will enjoy these crispy Wontons filled with juicy Meat and succulent Prawns, and loaded with Chives.
It all started with my son eating some Deep-Fried Chives Dumplings ( 炸韭菜餃子 ) at a local coffeeshop. He enjoyed the dumplings very much, but found their skin too thick. So off to the supermarket the next few days, I bought a packet of wonton skin and the ingredients needed, and started wrapping my version of Crispy Chives Dumplings.
