- 200 g baking soda
- 250 ml white vinegar
- Boiling water
1. Pour the baking soda directly into the drain.
2. Add the white vinegar over the baking soda.
3. Let it foam undisturbed.
4. Leave it overnight, or up to 24 hours if possible.
5. The next day, boil water in a large saucepan.
6. Pour the boiling water into the sink.
Your sink is now fully unclogged and draining smoothly! This proven method is quick, affordable, and safe for pipes, the environment, and your health—no plumber needed. It works on bathtubs, showers, basins, and stainless steel sinks from brands like IKEA.
For a fresh scent, add lemon juice or 5 drops of lemon essential oil during the reaction. Your drain will be clean and odor-free.
The fizzing reaction between baking soda and vinegar breaks down grease, hair, and debris in the drain. Both ingredients offer natural sanitizing, disinfecting, and deodorizing benefits, restoring healthy flow without harsh chemicals.
