Introduction
Clogged drains are a common household issue that can be frustrating and time-consuming to fix. Whether it’s hair, grease, soap scum, or food particles causing blockages, dealing with slow or blocked pipes is a hassle. Instead of reaching for harsh chemicals that can damage your pipes and harm the environment, there’s a natural and effective solution that you can easily prepare at home. By using just a few simple ingredients, you can clear and prevent drain blockages without any dangerous chemicals. Here’s how you can throw this solution down the drain and forget about clogs for good!
Ingredients
Baking soda (1/2 cup)
White vinegar (1/2 cup)
Hot water (2 cups)
Salt (optional, for extra scrubbing power)
Instructions
Clear the Drain Area
Before you begin, make sure the area around your drain is clean and dry. Remove any visible debris or standing water if possible to allow the solution to work effectively.
Pour Baking Soda Down the Drain
Take 1/2 cup of baking soda and pour it directly into the drain. Baking soda is a natural abrasive and deodorizer, which helps to break down stubborn gunk and neutralize odors.
Add Vinegar
Next, pour 1/2 cup of white vinegar into the drain. The reaction between the baking soda and vinegar will create a fizzing action that helps to loosen grease, soap scum, and other build-ups that may be clogging the pipe.
