Step 5 · Create a Baking Soda and Vinegar Solution

Pour about 1/2 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1/2 cup of white vinegar. The mixture will immediately start to fizz. Cover the drain opening with a stopper or rag to contain the reaction within the pipes. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes, or longer for tougher clogs. Afterward, flush the drain with hot water. This is an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical cleaners.
