Cleaning clogged drains can be an easy and safe job to do with DIY treatments. Here are the most popular ones to try:
Baking Soda and Vinegar: Blend a 1/3 cup of baking soda and a 1/3 cup of vinegar in a measuring cup. Pour the combination into the drain and let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour. Flush with hot water to get rid of the blockage.
Salt and Baking Soda: Merge 1/2 cup of salt and 1/2 cup of baking soda. Pour the mix into the drain and let it sit for a few hours. Flush with hot water to get rid of the blockage.
Boiling Water: Pour a pot of boiling water down the drain to break up clogs. Do it again if required.
Lemon Juice and Salt: Mix 1/4 cup of salt and 1/4 cup of lemon juice. Pour the combination into the drain and let it sit for a few hours. Flush with hot water to clear the clog.
Finally, a good old-fashioned plunger often does the trick for toilet stoppages.
