Blocked Drains Edinburgh

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

Using bicarb and vinegar to unblock drains is a cheap and environmentally friendly alternative to chemical drain cleaners. The cost of bicarb and vinegar is significantly lower than purchasing a chemical drain cleaner, making it a great option for those on a budget.

Before attempting to unblock your drain, it's essential to understand how it works. Your drain is a complex system that relies on gravity and water flow to function correctly. When hair, soap, and other debris accumulate in your drain, it can cause blockages that prevent water from flowing freely.

To unblock your drain using bicarb and vinegar, follow these steps:

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.
4. Pour hot water down the drain to rinse away any remaining debris.

If the bicarb and vinegar method doesn't work, you can try using a drain snake (also known as an auger) to remove any blockages. A drain snake is a long, flexible rod that can be inserted into your drain to break up any clogs.

To prevent blockages from occurring in the future, it's essential to clean your drains regularly. You can do this by:

• Running hot water through your drain on a regular basis
• Using a drain screen or filter to catch hair and other debris
• Avoiding pouring grease and oil down your drain
• Using a natural drain cleaner, such as bicarb and vinegar, on a regular basis
