Clogged drains are a common household nuisance, but you don’t need harsh chemicals—or a plumber—to fix them. My dad taught me a simple, eco-friendly trick using items you likely already have at home.
You’ll Need:
Baking soda
White vinegar
Boiling water
Step-by-Step Guide:
Loosen the Clog: Pour a pot of boiling water down the drain to soften grease or soap buildup.
Add Baking Soda: Pour about ½ cup into the drain. It acts as a natural abrasive and deodorizer.
Pour in Vinegar: Add 1 cup of white vinegar. The fizzing reaction breaks down stubborn deposits.
Let It Work: Wait 5–10 minutes without running water.
Flush the Drain: Pour another pot of boiling water down to clear away debris.
Why This Works: The combination of baking soda and vinegar creates a fizzy chemical reaction that loosens clogs, while boiling water flushes them out—quick, safe, and effective.
In just 10 minutes, your drain is free-flowing, saving you time, money, and exposure to harsh chemicals.
