This is an easy and entertaining way to keep your drains clear, clean and odor-free. It's only somewhat effective at clearing a clog, but it is truly great at preventing them.

Ingredients - Baking soda and white vinegar.

Pour about 1/2 cup of baking soda into the drain. Add a cup or more of white vinegar. The mixture will start to fizz. Cover the drain with a stopper or plunger for a couple of minutes until the fizzing stops. The bubbles will clean the drain. Rinse well with hot or boiling water. Repeat if necessary.

This recipe, if regularly used, will help prevent clogged drains and may work on only very mild clogs. Never use this recipe after you have used a commercial drain cleaner! You have an extremely dangerous chemical in your drain, and you need to call a plumber to handle it properly.
