LIFE HACK: DIY DRAIN CLEANER

I'm sure we have all had our experience with that stubborn clogged up drain, and of course when it happens, there is no Drain-o in sight. Now what....call a plumber, yea right that's too expensive! I found a way to unclog your drain without having to go get some Draino...


What will would need?
1 cup of boiling water
1 cup of vinegar
1/2 cup of baking soda

Pour altogether down the drain, it will most likely bubble up but its OK because it means it working!!
Turn on the faucet and see if it is still clogged, if it is repeat the whole process again!

Hope you guys enjoyed this one!

Oh yes I've heard of this awesome drain cleaning hack!The best is that drain cleaners that you buy from the shops are so toxic smelling and this is all natural and safe. Having two small children in the house I get nervous with any chemicals that could be dangerous and drain cleaner is top on my list of dangerous things.

Hey Ermini can we do this at our house today? This is a hack that i can use rite off in my home. I have a sink upstairs that barely drains and they are all copper piping so im sure is full of gunk. I really need to take the time to replace all the plumbing with PVC pipes but who knows. I would like to try this rite away to see if it works for sure. So many people spend hundreds of dollars on high powered drain cleaners that don't really work. This is a cheap alternative that allows you to stay home and do it rather than having to go shopping to get it done. Thanks for sharing!

Great life hack! I didn't know about this combination, I always have draining problems but I end up buying special products and powders that I used combined with hot water.
I even melted my plastic drain pipe because I used a very strong product that had a huge chemical reaction melting the plastic pipe beneath the sink, it was awful, I had to repair everything myself.

I was always using vinegar with baking soda to clean my kitchen or bathroom drains. A friend of my wife told us this recipe, it is cheap and easy to use, besides we are not wasting our time going to buy a solution to clean the kitchen or bathroom drains.

This life hack is very helpful. We always have a problem regarding our drainer. So we always call for a plumber but it cost us a lot of money just by paying them. I will try this DIY drain cleaner. Now, I will not let my mother call a plumber. But my mother must pay me for my service in a cheap price of course. I like doing experiments and life hacks so I try it as soon as we need to clean up our drainer.
