8 DIYs Every Woman Should Know How To Do (4 of 5)

6. Taking Apart the Sink P-Trap

Clogs are inevitable, but they don’t always require a plumber. The sink P-trap, located under the sink, traps debris and prevents it from clogging the entire drainage system. Place a bucket underneath, unscrew the trap, clean out the debris, and reassemble. Regular maintenance keeps your plumbing in good condition.

Tip: Wear gloves and have a small brush ready to clean the inside of the P-trap thoroughly.

7. Installing a Shelf

Shelves are versatile and enhance both storage and decor. Start by marking the wall for even placement, use a level to ensure alignment, and drill holes for the brackets. Secure the shelf, and you’ve created a new space for books, plants, or decorative items. This skill is especially handy for organizing and decluttering your home.

Tip: Use wall anchors for heavier items to ensure the shelf remains securely in place.
