Blocked Drains Edinburgh

Are you tired of dealing with clogged drains in your East Lothian home? Look no further than this simple and effective method using baking soda. In this article, we'll show you how to clean your drain with baking soda and vinegar, a natural and non-toxic solution that's perfect for kitchen sinks, showers, and more.

Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is a natural cleaner that's been used for centuries to remove blockages and odors from drains. It's non-toxic, non-corrosive, and environmentally friendly, making it a great alternative to harsh chemicals.

To clean your drain with baking soda, you'll need the following:

• 1 cup of baking soda
• 1 cup of white vinegar
• 2 cups of hot water
  Here's what to do:

1. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain. This will help break down any blockages and neutralize odors.
2. Follow with 1 cup of white vinegar. The acid in the vinegar will react with the baking soda to create a fizzing action that will help dislodge any hair or debris.
3. Pour 2 cups of hot water down the drain to rinse away the baking soda and vinegar mixture.
4. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight to allow it to work its magic.
5. In the morning, pour hot water down the drain to rinse away any remaining debris.

• For tougher blockages, you can let the mixture sit for a longer period of time or repeat the process a few times.
• If you have a severe blockage, it's best to call a professional drainage company like Blocked Drains Edinburgh, who can provide a more thorough cleaning and repair service.
• To prevent future blockages, consider running hot water through your drain on a regular basis to keep it clear.
• If you have a septic system, be sure to check with your system's manufacturer before using baking soda and vinegar, as they may not be compatible.
