Prepare the Drain: Remove any visible debris from the sink or drain opening.
Add Baking Soda: Pour 1/2 cup of baking soda directly into the drain.
Add Vinegar: Follow immediately with 1/2 cup of white vinegar. The mixture will fizz and bubble—this reaction helps break down grime and neutralize odors.
Wait: Let the mixture sit for 10–15 minutes to work on clogs and smells.
Flush: Pour 2–3 cups of boiling water down the drain to rinse everything away.
Tips & Variations
For stubborn clogs, repeat the process or let the baking soda and vinegar sit overnight before flushing.
