Plumbing

Clogged Drain

 

A slow drain? Don't call the plumber just yet... I have a quick fix recipe that can relieve that drain pain! And the solution is found right in your kitchen!

 

 

1. Put a kettle of water on to boil.

2. Pour a cup of baking soda down the drain followed by a cup of white vinegar. The two ingredients together are going to get all bubbly and foamy.

3. When the vinegar and baking soda have stopped bubbling pour the boiling water down the drain. This will flush away all of the gunky build-up and in no time you will have a free flowing drain.
