DIY Drain Cleaning
Cleaning clogged drains can be an easy and safe job to do
with DIY treatments. Here are the most popular ones to try:
-
Baking Soda and Vinegar: Blend a 1/3 cup of baking soda
and a 1/3 cup of vinegar in a measuring cup. Pour the combination into the
drain and let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour. Flush with hot water to
get rid of the blockage.
-
Salt and Baking Soda: Merge 1/2 cup of salt and 1/2 cup
of baking soda. Pour the mix into the drain and let it sit for a few
hours. Flush with hot water to get rid of the blockage.
-
Boiling Water: Pour a pot of boiling water down the
drain to break up clogs. Do it again if required.
-
Lemon Juice and Salt: Mix 1/4 cup of salt and 1/4 cup
of lemon juice. Pour the combination into the drain and let it sit for a
few hours. Flush with hot water to clear the clog.

Finally, a good old-fashioned plunger often does the
trick for toilet stoppages.
