Natural Drain Cleaning Trick

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.

Add a few drops of lemon or essential oil to the boiling water for a fresh scent.

Regular monthly use keeps drains clean and prevents buildup.

This method often cleans drains better than mechanical tools and eliminates unpleasant odors naturally.
