Blocked Drains York

Are you tired of dealing with clogged drains in your York home? Look no further than this simple and effective method using baking soda. At Blocked Drains York, we're always looking for ways to help our customers maintain their drainage systems, and this DIY solution is a great place to start.

Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is a natural cleaner and deodorizer. It's non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and gentle on pipes, making it the perfect solution for cleaning your drains.

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

1. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain: This will help to break down any debris and food particles that may be clogging your drain.
2. Follow with 1 cup of vinegar: The acid in the vinegar will react with the baking soda, creating a fizzing action that will help to loosen any blockages.
3. Let it sit: Allow the mixture to sit in the drain for 30 minutes to an hour. This will give it time to work its magic and break down any tough debris.
4. Pour boiling water down the drain: After the mixture has sat for the desired amount of time, pour a kettle of boiling water down the drain to rinse it out.
5. Repeat if necessary: If your drain is still clogged after the first treatment, you can repeat the process until the water flows freely.

• For tougher clogs, you can let the mixture sit for a longer period of time or repeat the process several times.
• To prevent clogs from forming in the future, you can pour 1/2 cup of baking soda down your drain every month and follow with hot water.
• If you have a particularly stubborn clog, you can try using a combination of baking soda and hot water to create a paste. Apply the paste to the clog and let it sit for a few hours before rinsing with hot water.

While this DIY solution can be effective, sometimes clogs can be more serious and require professional attention.
