Drain Cleaner

Supplies

• 1/2 cup baking soda
• 1 cup white vinegar
• 1 gallon of boiling water

Tools

• Measuring cups
• Chopstick
• Bathtub stopper or thick washcloth

Instructions

1. Pour a pot of boiling water down your drain.
2. Pour 1/2 cup baking soda into your drain. Be sure that it all goes down. You can use your fingers or a long tool such as a chopstick to help.
3. Pour 1/2 cup white vinegar into the drain and cover immediately with a stopper or a rag in order to keep the bubbles in the drain.
4. Wait for 2 minutes.
5. Pour the second 1/2 cup of white vinegar down the drain and, like in step 2, cover.
6. Wait for 15-30 minutes, no more.
7. Uncover and pour another pot of boiling water down the drain.

Notes

Repeat, depending on how clogged the drain is. Clean your drains regularly with this recipe to prevent build-up.
