Blocked Drains Edinburgh

Are you experiencing a clogged drain in your East Lothian home or business? Before calling a professional drainage service like Blocked Drains Edinburgh, you may want to try a simple and cost-effective method to unblock your drain using bicarbonate of soda.

Blockages in drains can occur due to a buildup of grease, hair, and other debris. When these substances accumulate, they can cause a clog in the drain, leading to slow draining or complete blockage. In such cases, using bicarbonate of soda can be an effective way to clear the blockage.

To unblock a drain with bicarbonate of soda, you will need:

• 1 cup of bicarbonate of soda
• 1 cup of vinegar
• Hot water
• A drain rod (optional)
  Here's the step-by-step process:

1. Pour 1 cup of bicarbonate of soda down the drain.
2. Follow with 1 cup of vinegar. The mixture will start to fizz and foam.
3. Let the mixture sit in the drain for a few hours or overnight. This will allow the bicarbonate of soda to break down the blockage.
4. After the sitting time has passed, pour hot water down the drain to rinse it.
5. If the blockage is severe, you may need to use a drain rod to help dislodge the clog.

Bicarbonate of soda is a natural cleaning agent that can help break down grease and other substances that cause blockages in drains. When combined with vinegar, it creates a chemical reaction that helps to dissolve the blockage.
