Quick Fix for Unclogging Drains and Eliminating Odor!
Over time, drains can become clogged with grime, demanding immediate attention. If not addressed promptly, water may overflow and create bigger problems.
Ingredients:
100 ml of detergent
1 tablespoon of salt
100 ml of vinegar
100 ml of water (or as needed)
1 tablespoon of baking soda
Steps:
Mix detergent, salt, and vinegar in a bowl. Salt acts as a natural antiseptic and, along with vinegar, has antimicrobial properties to help dissolve grease and eliminate odors.
If the mixture is too thick, add water.
Pour a tablespoon of baking soda directly into the drain.
Follow with the prepared mixture and leave it overnight.
In the morning, flush the drain with hot water to clear any remaining blockages.
For Hair-Clogged Drains:
Use a bent wire hanger to mechanically clear the blockage.
Prevention Tips:
Install a special drain strainer to catch hair and prevent future clogs.
Regular maintenance can prevent complete blockages.
More Tips for Clearing Blocked Drains:
Enhance the effect of baking soda with salt.
Mix 2 tablespoons of each, pour into the drain, followed by 1/2 cup of vinegar.
For very clogged drains, heat the vinegar before adding.
Finally, flush with boiling water.
Try a mixture of detergent, hydrogen peroxide, and baking soda.
Seal the drain with a sponge after pouring in the mixture to enhance the effect, then flush with hot water.
Alternative Method – Aspirin:
Drop 2 aspirin tablets into the drain and pour in 1 cup of vinegar.
Once the fizzing stops, flush with boiling water.
These methods offer efficient, plumber-free solutions to unclog and freshen your drains naturally.
