I know this is crazy but had to post cuz I was so proud of my hubby. Earlier this week, I clogged up the kitchen disposal with peelings of potatoes. Yes, I know they should have gone in the trash but, oh no, I proceeded to turn on the disposal and see the backup begin. My hubby came home from work and instead of sitting down to eat dinner, he was underneath the sink unscrewing pipes to get it cleared up. Sure enough in minutes all was flowing again. BUT, what was even better, he decided to go a step further and clean out our drains with a natural solution - baking soda, vinegar and water. What's so cool is that he learned this tip from reading an article on Dr. Mercola's newsletter. In the past, it was so easy for us to run out to the store and buy the commercial stuff. What you'll need:
Baking Soda
Vinegar
Water
What you'll do:
Start by pouring 1/4 cup baking soda into the clogged drain. It might stay around the surface, which is OK.
Pour 1/4 cup vinegar into the drain.
Pour boiling water into sink. This will flush the solution through your pipes.
Repeat process if you have a particularly nasty clog.
Note that this is a good process to go through occassionally in order to maintain free-flowing pipes.
Way to go, Honey!!
