Blocked Drains York

Are you tired of dealing with blocked drains in your York home or business? Look no further than a simple and effective solution using baking soda. This natural and non-toxic method is perfect for cleaning drains and keeping them flowing freely.

Baking soda and vinegar are a powerful combination when it comes to cleaning drains. The baking soda acts as a gentle abrasive, helping to break down any debris or blockages in the drain, while the vinegar helps to dissolve and flush away any remaining residue.

1. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain: Start by pouring 1 cup of baking soda down the drain. Make sure to pour it slowly and evenly to ensure it reaches the entire length of the drain.
2. Follow with 1 cup of vinegar: Next, pour 1 cup of vinegar down the drain. The mixture of baking soda and vinegar will start to fizz and foam, helping to break down any blockages.
3. Let it sit: Allow the mixture to sit in the drain for 2-3 hours or overnight. This will give the baking soda and vinegar time to work their magic and break down any tough blockages.
4. Pour boiling water down the drain: After the mixture has sat for the desired amount of time, pour boiling water down the drain to rinse away any remaining residue.
5. Repeat if necessary: If the drain is still blocked after the first treatment, repeat the process until the water flows freely.

• Use hot water: Hot water helps to activate the baking soda and vinegar, making them more effective at breaking down blockages.
• Avoid using baking soda and vinegar on certain types of pipes: If you have older pipes or pipes made of certain materials, such as aluminum or galvanized steel, avoid using baking soda and vinegar as they can cause damage.
