Clean Drains With Baking Soda And Vinegar |
|
|
About once a month I clean my "drains", dishwasher, and clothes washer. In the bathroom drains I put 2 Tbsp. of baking soda, followed by a cup of white vinegar. Let foam for about 5 minutes, then pour in 2 cups of boiling water. Let set for another 5 minutes, then run faucet for another 2 or 3 minutes.
Do this also for the shower drain. In the kitchen put 1/4 cup baking soda in the garbage disposal side, followed by a cup of vinegar. Use a disposer brush if you have one. Run disposer for a few minutes, flushing it with cold water. For dishwasher, I put baking soda in both dispensers, pour a cup of vinegar in the tub and run a complete cycle. For the clothes washer, I fill the bleach dispenser as directed, put vinegar in the liquid softener dispenser, put about 1/2 cup baking soda in tub and run a full cycle. Notice, no chemical cleaners.

RE: Clean Drains With Baking Soda And Vinegar
Going to try this. BTW, boiling water down the drain won't hurt this kind of plastic pipe. It is very think and sturdy.
RE: Clean Drains With Baking Soda And Vinegar
I pour boiling water down my plastic drain all the time and have never had a problem. I think the drains and pipes are made of something very tough as not only am I using boiling water, I am also using Drain-O! I will try this receipe, though. I like using natural products. especially vinegar and baking soda.

I agree with the baking soda & vinegar, however, I would not recommend pouring boiling water down the drain if you have plastic pipes.
