Monday is a good day to clean...

Your drain

Keep you drains running smoothly with products you can find around your home. It's far gentler on your pipes (and your wallet) than commercial drain cleaners.

Solution 1

To clear clogs in sink and tub drains, use a funnel to pour in 1/2 cup baking soda followed by 1 cup vinegar. When the foaming subsides, flush with hot tap water. Wait five minutes, and then flush again with cold water. Besides clearing blockages, this technique also washes away odor-causing bacteria.

Solution 2

To speed up a slow drain, pour in 1/2 cup salt followed by 2 cups boiling vinegar, then flush with hot and cold tap water.

Solution 3

Pour a 2 litre bottle of cola down your drain to help with a slow drain.
