Step #1: Weekly Drain Cleaning Maintenance

Pamela writes: “I read this in our local paper yesterday: Plumbers Tip  Squirt some dishwashing liquid in your kitchen drains and let sit for 20 minutes then flush with hot water. It said to do it once a week and you’ll never have clogs from grease.”

Well talk about an easy way to keep your drains clog free!

Step #2: How to Fix a Clogged Sink

In addition to the weekly maintenance, here’s my favorite way to clear out a  drain clog if they do happen…

I recently had my kitchen sink clog on both sides. YIKES!

Thankfully my sink slowly drained after 15-20 minutes and I was able to try this trick.

I really didn’t want to have to get under the sink and remove the drain elbow to fix the clogged drain pipe.

Or worse yet, call an expensive plumber.

If you’ve ever had to repair or replace the plumbing under your kitchen sink, you’ll know this is no fun at all!!

Thankfully I had everything I needed in my kitchen pantry. I buy my Baking Soda, Salt, and White Vinegar in bulk at Sam’s Club, so I had plenty ready to use…

Leslie said: “Baking Soda works great to clear clogged drains… a layer of baking soda, a layer of salt, a layer of baking soda, a layer of salt, then pour vinegar on it all and flush with hot water. Plunge if needed.”

Monya said: “Baking Soda is fantastic at unclogging drains… put 1/2 cup of baking soda in first, then 1 cup of vinegar, and 1 cup hot water, then cover with drain plug. Flush with hot water after 15 minutes. It works great… you may need to repeat, but it works. Even great for unclogging the toilet.”

I really loved the tips shared by both Leslie and Monya, so I tried using a combination of their tips when unclogging my kitchen sink drain.

Here’s what I did…

I added the 1/2 cup of baking soda to the drain, layering it with salt as Leslie suggested.

Then I poured the 1 cup of white vinegar over the top.

Note: After letting the mixture bubble for a few seconds, I realized the baking soda was actually clogging the drain. I used a spoon to remove the baking soda caused clog and this allowed the baking soda/salt/vinegar mixture to go smoothly down the drain.

I then covered the drain with the drain plug like Monya recommended.
