DRAIN UNBLOCKING

When drains become clogged, people often resort to using corrosive drain cleaning products. If you want to try a method with less harsh chemicals, try out this hack. Sprinkle a handful of baking soda down the drain, followed by twice as much vinegar. Baking soda and vinegar are at opposite ends of the ph scale, which measures how acidic or alkaline a substance is. When the two substances are combined in the drain, they begin to react with each other, releasing bubbles of carbon dioxide. As this reaction takes place in the drain, it can dislodge food and break up clogs.

Baking soda and vinegar are often used to clean other parts of the kitchen, too
