Are you tired of dealing with a clogged shower drain in your East Lothian home? Look no further. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, we've got a simple and cost-effective solution to help you unblock your shower drain using bicarbonate soda.

Blocked shower drains can be a real nuisance, causing water to back up and potentially leading to more serious issues like water damage and mold growth. Hair and soap scum are common culprits when it comes to clogged drains, but fortunately, there's a simple and non-toxic way to clear the blockage.

Bicarbonate soda, also known as baking soda, is a natural and effective cleaning agent that can help dissolve and break down blockages in your shower drain. When combined with vinegar, it creates a powerful cleaning solution that can help clear even the toughest clogs.

Here's a step-by-step guide to unblocking your shower drain with bicarbonate soda:

1. Pour 1 cup of bicarbonate soda down the drain.
2. Follow with 1 cup of vinegar. The mixture will start to fizz and foam, helping to break down the blockage.
3. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes to an hour. This will allow the bicarbonate soda and vinegar to work their magic and break down the blockage.
4. After the mixture has sat for the desired amount of time, pour hot water down the drain to rinse it out.
5. If the blockage persists, you may need to use a drain rod or plumber's snake to help dislodge the blockage.
