You still use expensive chemicals to cope with clogs, right? 🪠🛗 Well, I brought a fantastic trick that will help you in this situation! 🤗🤌 While other options are only a temporary solution for blockings, this mix of household ingredients will fix the problem forever! 👍😯 You all have this in your house! 😏 I will share the secret in this article! 👇
For years, I relied on chemical drain cleaners to tackle any clogs in my home. My cabinet was filled with various bottles, ranging from pricey to budget options. Like most people, I would pour them down the drain and wait, hoping the water would gradually start flowing again. Unfortunately, the problem was often temporary, and the blockages kept returning.
Curious to find a better solution, I asked friends and family how they dealt with clogs. The answer I got was simple: remove the siphon, clean it out, and check the pipes. However, I had no idea how to do that and couldn’t ask anyone for help since I have a young child in the house.
I then decided to call a plumber, though I knew it would cost me. To my surprise, the plumber was very friendly, and after fixing the issue, I asked him for some tips on how to handle clogs in the future, without having to call him again each time. I explained that I always used chemicals, but I was open to alternatives.
That’s when the plumber shared a fantastic, inexpensive solution using common household ingredients. He quickly mixed something up and poured it down the drain. We waited for about half an hour, and to my amazement, the clog was completely cleared.
Intrigued, I decided to test it further. I filled the sink with water, let it sit, and then drained it. The water rushed out so quickly that it seemed as if there were no pipes at all under the sink!
Here’s the recipe the plumber shared with me:
Pour half a cup of baking soda and half a cup of salt into the drain. Mix them well.
Add a quarter cup of 9% vinegar (or a bit more, depending on your drain).
Immediately pour 1 liter of boiling water into the drain.
Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes to an hour.
Finally, run hot water for 1-3 minutes.
This simple, natural remedy works just as well—if not better—than store-bought cleaners. It not only clears blockages but also eliminates any foul odors from the drain. I’m now a firm believer in this budget-friendly trick!
