Blocked Drains York

Are you experiencing a clogged drain in your York home or business? Before calling a professional, you can try a simple and eco-friendly method to unblock your drain using baking soda and vinegar. At Blocked Drains York, we understand the importance of maintaining clear drains, and we're happy to share this DIY solution with you.

Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is a natural cleaner and deodorizer. When combined with vinegar, it creates a chemical reaction that helps break down and dissolve blockages in your drain. The mixture of baking soda and vinegar is a non-toxic and environmentally friendly alternative to harsh chemicals.

1. Pour Baking Soda Down the Drain: Start by pouring 1 cup of baking soda down the clogged drain. Make sure to pour it slowly to avoid creating a mess.
2. Add Vinegar: Follow the baking soda with 1 cup of vinegar. The mixture will start to fizz and foam, which helps to break down the blockage.
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.
4. Hot Water Rinse: After the sitting time has passed, pour boiling water down the drain to rinse away the mixture and any remaining blockages.
5. Repeat if Necessary: If the clog persists, you can repeat the process until the drain is clear.

• Before attempting to unblock your drain, make sure to remove any visible debris or blockages.
