Drain Remedy


We have been battling with the drain in our shower for months now. I have spent outrageous amounts of money on products to unclog our drain, and it works for a few days, and then we're back to being clogged again. Thankfully, we mentioned this to my brother-in-law and his wife, and they gave us the best remedy ever! It's so simple, and works better than anything we've ever tried.

Don't use this remedy if you already used a store-bought product in the same drain. You'll want to make sure that what you used has been completely flushed from the pipes before trying this. I would give it at least a few days in between, where plenty of water has been going through your pipes.

You can use this in a kitchen sink, bathroom sink, shower or tub.
You'll need 1 cup each of baking soda, salt, and vinegar
Combine the baking soda and salt and pack it into your drain as much as possible, and immediately follow with the vinegar. Let it sit for 10 - 20 minutes. As you wait, boil a pot of water. After the 10 - 20 minutes, pour the boiling water down the drain.
You may have to do this multiple times.
When we did it we went through about 5 cups of vinegar.
Kelly kept pouring more and more down because it kept reacting.

It really works! Give it a try next time, and save yourself some money.

Ummm I could have told you that about a year ago! Remember when our front bathroom always smelled funny and then our kitchen one started smelling funny? Well we tried that after my mom told me about it and it worked great.
