This three ingredient process is great for drain maintenance. Depending on where you live some do this once a month while others may do it once a week. Keep those pipes clear and not need a plumber.
5 Easy Steps
- Pour a pot of boiling water down the drain.
- Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Pour 1 cup of white vinegar down the drain and let the mixture sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Pour a second pot of boiling water down the drain.
- Run hot tap water for 5 minutes to make sure any remaining gunk is cleared out.
TIP: While you're waiting for that 10-20 minutes between the baking soda and vinegar is a good time to get that second pot of water boiling.
Here's another version to immediately unclog a drain.
- 3.5oz (100ml) dish soap
- 1 tablespoon course salt
- 3.5oz (100ml) white vinegar
