It’s easier than you think to unclog the sink using natural ingredients! Today’s tip is from Dana is showing us how to unclog a drain without using harsh chemicals.
Unclog The Sink
In her quest to be frugal along with the desire to remove as many harsh chemicals from her home as possible, Dana has found a few ways to take care of common household problems.
To unclog the sink, look no further than your pantry because here is a very effective way to unclog sinks using vinegar, baking soda and water.
Step 1 – Put about 3/4 cup DRY baking soda down the drain.
Step 2 – Pour 1/2 cup of vinegar down the sink after the baking soda. Be sure to cover the drain immediately afterward with a rag or plug, filling the hole completely so nothing can escape. This is because the interaction of the two will cause a mini volcano that will want to come up, you want to keep it down there.
Step 3 – Leave this concoction in the drain for about 30 minutes. While you’re waiting, boil about a gallon of water.
Step 4 – After 30 minutes, remove the plug and slowly pour the HOT water down the drain.

How Do You Unclog A Drain?
According to Planet Green you can also use a plunger to unclog a drain. The plunger creates suction and forces open the clog. In most cases, this device is your go-to guy when it comes to clearing small clogs. Many clogs are caused by hairs on the stopper. If this is the case, remove the stopper and clean it off.
If the plunger fails to unclog, you can remove the U-bend pipe below your faucet. see Planet Green for a full explanation on how to do it.

A regular use of vinegar and baking soda can keep your drains free-flowing. It really works!
I’ll have to try this the next time my skin clogs – which is often since I lose so much hair down it:( A few months ago my shower stopped working (and my place is only two years old). After hours of trial and error, we took off the showerhead and poured vinegar down the pipe, and somehow that fixed the problem (which was caused by hard water). It’s amazing what vinegar can do.
I tried a couple of these the other day, but i think my drain is in serious need of a plumbers snake. Thanks though!
That’s a great tip! I’m going to try that as I’ve noticed my disposal is really gunky. {Is “gunky” a word?} HA!
