Blocked Drains York

Are you experiencing a clogged drain in your York home or business? Before calling a professional drainage service like Blocked Drains York, you can try using a simple and effective method to clean your drains using baking soda. This natural and non-toxic approach is perfect for maintaining your drains and preventing clogs.

Baking soda is a natural abrasive that can help break down grease, hair, and other debris that can clog your drains. When combined with hot water and vinegar, it creates a chemical reaction that can help dissolve and remove blockages.

To clean your drains with baking soda, follow these simple steps:

1. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain: Make sure to pour the baking soda directly down the drain, rather than mixing it with water first.
2. Follow with 1 cup of hot water: Pour hot water down the drain to help the baking soda flow down and reach the clog.
3. Let it sit: Allow the baking soda to sit in the drain for 30 minutes to an hour. This will give it time to work its way down and break down any blockages.
4. Add 1 cup of vinegar: Pour 1 cup of vinegar down the drain. The acid in the vinegar will help break down the baking soda and create a chemical reaction that can help dissolve and remove the clog.
5. Let it sit again: Allow the mixture to sit in the drain for another 30 minutes to an hour.
6. Rinse with hot water: Finally, rinse the drain with hot water to remove any remaining baking soda and vinegar.

• Make sure to use hot water when rinsing the drain, as cold water can cause the baking soda to solidify and create a new clog.
• If you have a severe clog, you may need to repeat the process several times before the drain is fully cleared.
• If you're unsure about how to clean your drains or if the clog persists after trying this method, it's always best to call a professional drainage service like Blocked Drains York.
