Safe Cheap Effective Kitchen Sink Drain Unclogger Recipes

Steps:

• Remove all objects from the sink, and wait for the standing water to go down. If there is standing water in the sink, it won't work.
• Put the vinegar into a tall measuring cup or measure out the vinegar and put it into a tall container-- If you have a really serious clog, up the proportion to 1-2 cups of each. The proportion is all the same.
• MAKE SURE everything is all clear-- because once you mix the baking soda into the vinegar it must be used IMMEDIATELY! It will foam up very high (remember the innumerable volcano science fair projects from the late 70s/early 80s?) and when it does this you have to pour it right away in order to remove the clog. If you wait too long, it won't do anything.
• Pour the foaming mixture right down the clogged drain. Rinse out any baking soda stuck in the cup with hot water pour down as well.
• Run your hot water tap and let it run continuously until the sink is filled about halfway. Don't worry, it's doing its work.
• Just stand back and let the compound and water take its course for a couple minutes, it'll take longer if it's a really big clog. Mine clogs horrendously but only takes about 5 minutes.
• Eventually, the sink will run clear. Run some more water over any leftover baking soda bits, or use those bits to clean up any crud left in the sink!

Steps:

• Pour baking soda into drain.
• Follow with vinegar.

Steps:

• Clean any debris from sink.
• Boil a gallon of water. Slowly, pour this down the drain. For minor clogs, this may do the trick. If not, continue with next steps.
• Pour baking soda down the drain. Immediately follow this with the vinegar. The interaction between the two should be enough to break up the clog.
• Allow the sink to "rest" in this state for 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil.
• Pour two quarts of the boiling water down the drain after the 15-20 minutes, to rinse away the vinegar, baking soda and clogging debris.
• Place the cup plunger over the sink drain and plunge to thoroughly dislodge the clogging materials.
• Finish by pouring two more quarts of boiling water down the drain.
