SAEDNEWS: Baking soda is a common kitchen substance used for cleaning clothes, household appliances, and for unclogging or eliminating odors from drain pipes.
According to Saednews, To remove a clogged pipe using baking soda and vinegar, start by boiling water. Then pour some dishwashing liquid into the sink drain, followed by a small amount of boiling water. Next, add baking soda and vinegar into the drain to trigger a chemical reaction. After a few minutes, pour more boiling water and run hot tap water to fully clear the pipe. Follow the step-by-step guide below.
Boil water
First, place a kettle of water on the stove and bring it to a boil.
Add dishwashing liquid
Pour a small amount of dishwashing liquid into the sink drain. Then carefully add about one cup of boiling water. The heat helps loosen and dissolve clog-causing materials.
Add baking soda and vinegar
Pour one cup of baking soda into the drain, followed by one cup of white vinegar. This creates a chemical reaction that helps break down grease and debris causing the blockage.
Wait for the reaction
Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes so it can work on loosening the clog.
Flush with boiling water
After waiting, pour two more cups of boiling water down the drain. This helps wash away loosened residue and clears the pipe.
Run hot water
Finally, turn on the hot water tap and let it run for a few minutes to ensure the blockage is completely removed.
If the clog is severe, you may need to repeat the process.
If the clog remains after repeating the method twice, it is better to contact a professional plumber.
Do not use excessive amounts of baking soda and vinegar, as the reaction may produce gas buildup.
Never use this method after applying acid-based drain cleaners, as dangerous chemical reactions may occur.
