Introduction:
Tired of dealing with a sink or shower that won't drain? Blocked drains are more common than we think, but it's not always necessary to resort to expensive chemicals or call a plumber. In this quick guide, you'll learn how to prepare a homemade remedy that can unclog pipes in just 3 minutes, using ingredients you probably already have at home. Fast, natural, and effective!
Ingredients:
½ cup baking soda
1 cup of white vinegar
Boiling water (at least 1 liter)
(Optional) a few drops of lemon or eucalyptus essential oil to neutralize odors
Preparation:
Remove excess water from the sink or shower where the clog is.
First, pour the baking soda directly down the drain.
Next, add the cup of white vinegar. You'll see an immediate fizz.
Cover the drain with a cloth or plug to concentrate the pressure downwards and let the mixture sit for 2–3 minutes.
After that time, slowly pour in the boiling water. This will help dissolve any remaining grease or residue and push everything down the drain.
Serving and Storage Tips:
You don't need to store this remedy; it's ready in no time.
You can repeat the process every 15 days as preventive maintenance.
If there are visible hairs or solid residues near the surface, remove them before applying the remedy for best results.
