Struggling with a clogged drain or unpleasant odors emanating from your sink? Before you call in the professionals or rent a heavy-duty machine, try this surprisingly effective homemade solution. Using just dishwashing detergent, salt, and vinegar, you can clear your drains and eliminate odors quickly and efficiently. Here’s how to whip up this miracle drain cleaner and get your sink flowing smoothly again.
Why This Combination Works
- Dishwashing Detergent: Acts as a lubricant to help break down greasy residue and ease the movement of material through the pipes.
- Salt: Works as a gentle abrasive to scrub the inside of the pipes and can help dislodge stuck particles.
- Vinegar: A natural acid that reacts with baking soda (if used) to create fizzing action, helping to break down clogs and neutralize odors.
Ingredients and Supplies:
- 1/2 cup of dishwashing detergent (liquid is preferable)
- 1/2 cup of table salt
- 1 cup of white vinegar
- Boiling water
- A kettle or pot for boiling water
- Protective gloves (optional but recommended)
