Unclog a Drain with Stuff You Already Have
The sink's slow. The shower's turning into a shallow bath. The smell? Not great. Check your kitchen cupboard for these secret weapons.
The sink's slow. The shower's turning into a shallow bath. The smell? Not great. You, my friend, have a clog—and no one's got time for that.
But before you dash to the shop for fancy (and often harsh) drain cleaner, check your kitchen cupboard. The secret weapons? Baking soda and vinegar. Yup, just like your science fair volcano—but way more useful.
Here's the DIY Drain Rescue Plan:
You'll need:
- ½ cup baking soda
- 1 cup white vinegar
- Boiling water
- (Optional: rubber gloves and a smug grin)
Step 1: Pour the baking soda down the drain.
Step 2: Follow it up with the vinegar. It'll fizz like crazy—that's the magic happening.
Step 3: Wait 10-15 minutes. Make a cup of tea. Scroll TikTok.
Step 4: Flush it all with boiling water. Boom—clog busted.
This combo costs pennies and beats splashing out £20 on harsh chemicals that can mess with your pipes (and the planet).
Still Blocked? Might Be Time to Call in the Big Tools
If the fizz doesn't fix it, your clog may be deeper than a podcast on conspiracy theories. Grease, hair, and mystery gunk can build up in the pipes over time—and sometimes it takes a pro to blast through it.
That's where we come in.
