Blocked Drains York

Are you experiencing a clogged drain in your York home or business? Before calling a professional, try this simple and eco-friendly method to clean your drain using baking soda and vinegar. At Blocked Drains York, we recommend this DIY solution to our customers as a cost-effective and efficient way to maintain their drains.

Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is a natural abrasive that can help break down grease and debris in your drain. It's a non-toxic and environmentally friendly alternative to harsh chemicals.

Vinegar is a natural acid that can help dissolve mineral deposits and break down tough blockages in your drain. Its acidity also helps to neutralize any lingering odors.

To clean your drain with baking soda and vinegar, follow these steps:

1. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain. Make sure to pour it slowly to avoid clogging the drain further.
2. Follow with 1 cup of vinegar. The mixture will start to fizz and foam, which helps to break down the blockage.
3. Let it sit for 2-3 hours or overnight. This allows the mixture to work its magic and break down any tough blockages.
4. Boiling water is the next step. Pour a kettle of boiling water down the drain to help dissolve any remaining debris.
5. Flush the drain with hot water to rinse away any remaining baking soda and vinegar mixture.

• Before attempting to clean your drain, make sure to remove any visible blockages or debris.
• If you have a severe blockage, it's best to call a professional drain cleaner like Blocked Drains York.
• Avoid using this method on a regular basis, as it can be harsh on your pipes. Instead, use it as a occasional maintenance solution.
• If you have a septic system, do not use this method as it can disrupt the balance of your system.
