by life last year….
I took more than one break from blogging….
but the final kick in the old arse came recently
when I was chatting with a family member….
very kindly,
possibly,
Seriously,
these are the ideas that keep me awake at night!!!
I’m a sick woman…..
So…
ick…
but then just proceed as normal
using products in your pantry….
I don’t actually measure all this stuff
but just in case you’re obsessive or something……
baking soda about 1 cup
Don’t do the next step until your kettle has come to a boil…
when it has, turn it off and then
pour in the vinegar…
it will bubble all up out of the drain and then go back down…
all that bubbling is loosening stuff in there..
when the bubbling stops, pour in the boiling water
yes, the whole thing…
done…clean drain…
If it’s your first time
(I’m sure you’ll look back on it fondly…as we all do)
you may need to repeat the process…especially if it’s a bathroom sink…
they tend to have LOTS of sticky stuff in there…
soap, makeup, hair products, toothpaste
OK…..simple enough?
Well now you’ve done it. You’ve gone and TAUGHT me something – LOL. I’ve done the vinegar and baking soda. I’ve done boiling water from time to time. But, I never knew that the magic combination was all three together. Think I’ll try that today!
I’m trying to keep it simple on my blog, too… today, I blogged about mango marshmallows — really! Who knew? =)
Have a great day! ~Sally
Simple, but important. I’ve never tried this but I will next time our drains aren’t draining properly.
Thank you for sharing this! Oh yes my daughters hair.And it’s not even that long!I am going to try this.Another thing I do to freshen up my garbage disposal is add bits of cut up lemon.It adds a fresh scent 🙂

I think this is a perfect post. It’s something very useful and I will have to try. I’ve done the same thing about obsessing over my blog instead of just keeping things simple. I needed to read this today!
And I am going to do this. You have to remember that while there are a lot of us bloggers, there are more non bloggers. And they come here too and need drain cleaning tips just as much as I do.

I will definitely try this. My daughter has the thickest hair I have ever seen and it’s very long. It also likes to stick to the drain.
Yes, simple posts are just as appreciated as those big ones! I am so happy you shared this. I use to have this recipe and I forgot exactly what it was. The other day the shower drain had a smell and I just dumped baking soda down it. Was wishing I remembered what it was. Pinning it to save.
hugs,

Great idea! I need to do this for sure, I always put citrus rinds down if I think the smell is “off” (eew, how gross).
Thank you for your sweet comments on my blog!

I’ve done this before, but can’t seem to remember to do it regularly. Silly me. By the way, I read somewhere of a blogger that just does this every time she cleans her coffee pot – uses the hot vinegar water from the coffee pot.
I found this informative and interesting blog, so I think so its very useful and knowledgeable.
