Blocked Drains Edinburgh

Are you tired of dealing with clogged drains in your East Lothian home? Look no further than this simple and cost-effective solution using baking soda. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, we've seen our fair share of blocked drains, and we're here to guide you through the process of cleaning your drain with baking soda.

Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is a natural and non-toxic substance that can help break down and dissolve blockages in your drain. It's a gentle yet effective way to clean your drain without causing damage to your pipes.

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

• 1 cup of baking soda
• 1 cup of vinegar
• Hot water
  Here's what to do:

1. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain.
2. Follow with 1 cup of vinegar. The mixture will fizz and foam, helping to break down any blockages.
3. Let the mixture sit in the drain for a few hours or overnight. This will allow the baking soda and vinegar to work their magic.
4. After the sitting time has passed, pour hot water down the drain to rinse away any remaining debris.

• For tougher blockages, you may need to repeat the process a few times before the drain is fully cleared.
• If you have a particularly stubborn clog, you can let the mixture sit for a longer period of time or use a plunger to help dislodge the blockage.
• Be careful when using baking soda and vinegar, as the mixture can be quite potent. Wear gloves and work in a well-ventilated area to avoid any irritation.
• If you have a septic system, it's best to avoid using baking soda and vinegar, as they can disrupt the balance of bacteria in your system.

• Hair: One of the most common causes of clogged drains is hair. Be sure to use a drain screen or filter to catch any stray hairs before they go down the drain.
• Grease and oil: Fats and oils can solidify in your pipes, causing blockages. Be sure to dispose of these substances properly.
• Food waste: Avoid pouring food waste down the drain, as it can cause clogs and blockages.

While baking soda and vinegar can be effective at cleaning your drain, there may be times when you need to call a professional.
