Ingredients 

  • 1/2 cup salt
  • 1/2 cup baking soda
  • 1 cup white vinegar, optional for tougher clogs
  • 2 pots of boiling water

Instructions 

Pour Salt and Baking Soda

  • Mix 1/2 cup of salt with 1/2 cup of baking soda. Pour the mixture directly into the clogged drain and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.

Add Boiling Water

  • Slowly pour a pot of boiling water down the drain. The heat combined with the salt and baking soda will help break down the clog.

Add Vinegar (Optional)

  • For tougher clogs, pour 1 cup of white vinegar down the drain after the boiling water. The vinegar will react with the baking soda to create a fizzing action that can further loosen the blockage.

Flush with Boiling Water Again

  • Pour a second pot of boiling water down the drain to flush away any remaining debris.
