I can't tell you how many clogged drains I've had to clear out. When I was younger I remember my grandmother using this clever DIY unclogger but as I got older and watched my own family unclog drains with store-bought products it was interesting. We love a quick fix but those nasty chemicals can damage your pipes and where do you think that liquid poison goes? Yup into the sewer and right back to your home or the water system and the ocean. I do this monthly to all drains as prior to clogs.
As I reverted back to my grandmother's days with my canning dehydrating and everything I could possibly do on my own within my own home I remembered what my grandmother used to do. And online it seems that everyone else seems to have found out how to do this but it's super simple and here it is.
The ingredients you need on hand are simple and probably already in your home vinegar, lemon juice, and baking soda plus a tea kettle of nice hot water for the end results.
All right let's start go to the drain which is clogged or not and pour yourself a half a cup of baking soda making sure it is as close to the drain as you can so that it all goes down when you follow up with a quarter cup of lemon juice followed by 3/4 a cup of vinegar.
Do not worry about having to use your hand to push it down the ingredient a little bit so make sure that those bubbles can do their job. I use a chopstick.
Once you have the ingredients down the drain lose the drain.
Again, Close the drain and give it about 1 hour.
So far this has worked me every time the trick is make sure that you do this before your drain gets clogged which keeps it a lot cleaner and a lot easier. It will still work even on a clogged drain. I do mine about every 4 months or so but it doesn't mean it won't work once it is clogged. I even give it a little plunge with water when it i done! Okay good luck and leave me any questions or comments on this quick little DIY
