Hello Rain.  This is such great information that you have shared with us. I will bookmark it for future reference.  I never thougth about using the vinegar, baking soda and boiling water to unclog drains, but I do see how this can be very effective.  I will  try it the next  time that I have a clogged pipe.

Thanks,

Most of the homes in my area are on septic systems.  The worst thing we can do to the health of a septic system is to add caustic chemicals to it.  So what do we do when we need to clean clogged pipes.  Here is a great natural remedy to get those drain pipes flowing well.

 

You Will Need:

 

1 cup baking soda

4 cups boiling water

1/2 cup vinegar

 

Directions for Homemade Drain Cleaner:

 

Remove all water from the sink or tub and pour about 1/2 cup of baking soda down the drain. Make sure that baking soda makes it down the drain and pour about  2 Cups of boiling water down the drain. 

Now this part will remind you of your childrens volcano experiment.  Pour another 1/2 cup baking soda down the drain then add 1 cup of white vinegar and plug the drain immediately. If you’re unclogging a double sink, plug both drains. You’ll hear sizzling coming up from the drain and see bubbles foaming up.

When the bubbles have died down, add the remaining boiling water down the drain. This natural and cheap remedy dissolves the sludge and gunk and the carbon dioxide air bubbles scrub the inside of the pipe.
