Here’s another answer to some of the frequently asked questions we get to solve those cleaning needs that make you say, “Hmmmm.”
Gunky Sink And Shower Drains:
It seems like bathroom sinks and showers often get clogged with all the wonderful things that get washed down them. Hair, soaps, shampoos, bits of toothpaste can all begin to band together to cause real problems if not addressed.
Volcano of Wonderfulness:
This is very much like the home science experiments we did as kids. It is so much fun (seriously!) that you may even be able to get your kids to do this for you.
Step One:
Clean out excess hair to make space for baking soda.
Step Two:
Pour ½ to 1 cup of baking soda into your clogged drain. Pour slowly, allowing it to sift as far into the drain as possible. The amount you will use will depend on the degree of your clog and the room you have to add the baking soda.
Step Three:
Pour ½ to 1 cup of vinegar into the drain on top of the baking soda. Allow the bubbles to take over! They will do the work of loosening up the built-up gunk in the drain. Let this do its work for 10-15 minutes.
Step Four:
When you can no longer hear any fizz coming from the drain, rinse with HOT water. The harder the stream of water you can use to force the loose stuff down the drain, the better.
If the drain does not run freely, repeat all steps.
Please note: If your drain is especially clogged, don’t miss that first step! You must remove as much hair and “yuk” as you are able. Without this step, you will not be able to get the baking soda to go into the drain where it will work its magic.
