Clogged drains can be a real nuisance, causing water to back up into your sink, shower, or bathtub. Grease, hair, and other debris can accumulate in your drain pipes, leading to clogs and blockages. But before you call a professional, try this easy and eco-friendly method to clear your clogged drain.

Baking soda is a natural cleaner and deodorizer that can help break down grease and other substances that clog your drains. When combined with hot water and vinegar, it creates a powerful cleaning solution that can dissolve even the toughest clogs.

Here's a step-by-step guide to cleaning a clogged drain with baking soda:

1. Pour Baking Soda Down the Drain: Start by pouring one cup of baking soda down the clogged drain.
2. Follow with Boiling Water: Next, pour a kettle of boiling water down the drain to help the baking soda flow down into the pipes.
3. Let it Sit: Allow the baking soda to sit in the drain for a few hours or overnight. This will give it time to work its magic and break down any grease or debris.
4. Add Vinegar: After the baking soda has sat for a few hours, pour one cup of vinegar down the drain. The mixture of baking soda and vinegar will create a chemical reaction that will help dissolve any remaining clogs.
5. Rinse with Hot Water: Finally, rinse the drain with hot water to remove any remaining baking soda and vinegar.

• Use Baking Soda Regularly: To prevent clogs from forming in the future, try pouring baking soda down your drain on a regular basis. This will help keep your drains clean and clear.
• Be Careful with Grease: Grease is a common cause of clogged drains, so be careful not to pour it down your sink or shower. Instead, dispose of it in the trash or recycling bin.
• Don't Use Baking Soda on All Drains: While baking soda is safe to use on most drains, it's not recommended for use on septic systems or drains with aluminum pipes.
