Home trick to clean the drain and pipes without calling the plumber…

🧪 Homemade Drain and Pipe Cleaner

Ingredients:

• ½ cup baking soda
• 1 cup white vinegar
• 1 pot of boiling water
• Optional: a few drops of lemon essential oil (for fragrance)

🧼 Instructions:

1. Boil water: Start by pouring a pot of boiling water down the drain. This helps loosen any grime or grease.
2. Add baking soda: Pour ½ cup of baking soda directly into the drain.
3. Pour vinegar: Immediately follow with 1 cup of white vinegar. You’ll hear fizzing — that’s the reaction breaking down residue.
4. Cover the drain: Use a stopper or a damp cloth to plug the drain. Let the mixture sit for 15–30 minutes.
5. Flush again: Finish by pouring another pot of boiling water down the drain to wash everything away.

💡 Optional Tip:

Add a few drops of lemon or tea tree essential oil for a fresh, clean scent and added antibacterial effect.

This method helps:

• Remove grease, grime, and mild clogs
• Eliminate bad odors
• Maintain smooth water flow
