What To Use

• Pour 1/2 cup of baking soda into the drain and follow this with 1 cup of white vinegar. Waiting at least 5 minutes allows the chemicals in the two products to interact. Run or pour at least 1 gallon of boiling water down the drain to rinse the pipe clean.
  
  

Considerations

• If the clog does not clear after using the baking soda and vinegar after 5 minutes, consider trying again. Only this time, allow the two to sit in the drain for a few hours, even overnight, before pouring the boiling water down the drain to clear it out.
  
  

Benefits

• The obvious benefit of using this home remedy is that it saves money on buying professional cleaning solutions. It also saves you from the possible danger of working with chemicals that could burn your skin or damage your clothing if splashed or spilled.
