Save Money and Time with These Natural Remedies for Clogged Drains
Clogged drains are a common problem in many households. They can be caused by a variety of things, from hair and soap scum to grease and food particles. While it can be tempting to reach for the chemical drain cleaners, these can be expensive and potentially damaging to your pipes. Fortunately, there are some natural remedies that can help you save money and time when it comes to clearing clogged drains.
Baking Soda and Vinegar
One of the most popular natural remedies for clogged drains is baking soda and vinegar. To use this method, simply pour a cup of baking soda down the drain followed by a cup of white vinegar. Allow the mixture to sit for about 30 minutes before flushing with hot water. This method works by breaking down the grease and other debris that is causing the clog.
Boiling Water
Another simple yet effective way to clear a clogged drain is to use boiling water. Boiling water helps break down grease and other debris that is causing the blockage. To use this method, simply pour several cups of boiling water down the drain, allowing it to sit for several minutes before flushing with cold water.
Manual Removal
If all else fails, you may need to manually remove the clog from your drain. This can be done by using a plunger or an auger (also known as a snake). Be sure to wear protective gloves when doing this as you may come in contact with bacteria or other contaminants that could cause illness if not handled properly.
