Baking Soda And Vinegar Sink Unclog

1. Pour 1/2 cup of baking soda down the drain. Pour 1/2 cup of vinegar down the drain. Cover the drain with a plug or cloth to prevent the mixture from bubbling out. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes. Flush the drain with hot water for 1-2 minutes. Repeat if necessary.

2. If the baking soda and vinegar solution doesn't work, you can try using a drain snake. Insert the drain snake into the drain and turn the handle to feed the snake into the drain. When you feel resistance, push and pull the snake to break up the clog. Remove the snake and flush the drain with hot water.

3. If the drain is still clogged, you can try using a chemical drain cleaner. Follow the directions on the bottle carefully. Be sure to wear gloves and eye protection when using a chemical drain cleaner.

4. If the chemical drain cleaner doesn't work, you may need to call a plumber. A plumber can use a variety of tools and methods to unclog a drain, including a hydro jet, a drain auger, or a sewer snake.

Here are some tips to help prevent clogged drains:

1. Avoid pouring grease or fat down the drain. Grease and fat can build up on the sides of the drain and cause a clog.

2. Don't put hair down the drain. Hair can form a clog in the drain.

3. Put a strainer in the drain to catch food particles and other debris.

4. Run hot water down the drain once a week to help keep the drain clear.

5. If you have a garbage disposal, run it regularly to help grind up food particles.
