Drain Cleaning with Baking Soda and Vinegar
- Pour 3/4-1 cup of baking soda in the drain that needs to be cleaned.
- Pour 1/2 cup vinegar in the drain and immediately cover the drain (use a plug or set a plate over it – you want to keep everything inside the drain)
- Leave everything to sit and work for about 30 mins (don’t use the sink during this time)
- After 30 mins, remove the cover and let hot water run thru the pipes for about 2-3 mins.
- For really tough drain cleaning you may need to repeat – but I find if I do this on a regular basis (about once a month) it keeps my drains clean and fresh with out any problems.
Freshen Drains with Baking Soda and Vinegar

- Follow by pouring 1 cup of heated vinegar down the drain (it will foam and bubble)
- Let it sit for 15 minutes
- After 15 minutes run hot tap water for 30-60 seconds.
