I don’t know about you, but I absolutely hate getting a clogged drain, having to run to the store to pay $6+ on a bottle of drain cleaner, and then literally pouring that money down the drain. And they only seem to work some of the time.
Here is an idea for a DIY Drain Cleaner that is simple to use and just as effective as those bought in the stores.
–Pour about a cup of Baking Soda down the drain.
–Pour 1/2 cup of white vinegar on top of the baking soda. If it foams up and baking soda remains after the foam settles, pour another 1/2 cup of vinegar in the drain.
–Allow to sit for about 30 minutes.
–Rinse with very hot water for about 2-3 minutes.
You may need to repeat the process for really tough drains. You can also do this about once a month as a preventative measure to prevent buildup. A great way to take care of one of the not so fun tasks in the house and save money in the process!
I used this today and IT WORKS!!! The gunk and hair just foamed up and I wiped it out!! I’ve shared this with all the boards I follow and I just hope the pinners try this! Thanks for sharing!!
I believe I read s/where that this could/can also burst your pipe… any truth to it??? They suggested to mix the baking soda & vinegar in the tub, let the fizz settle down & then rinse the tub… any suggestions, advise, comments, &/or inputs in this matter???
I just wanted to say that this really does work.I have been doing it for quite a while now and it’s just as effective as store bought drain cleaner,plus it only costs about $1.50 …give or take a little depending on where you buy it.I buy the store brand and it’s just as good.Great tip for everyone looking to save money for the New Year!
