Clean & Clear--Cut Through the Crud in Your Pipes


I buy white vinegar by the gallons. It is very inexpensive & as you will see through other nifty tips here, it is probably the most valuable household cleaner you could ever dream of. Not that I dream of vinegar, however...clogged drains can be a nightmare!

Once a week, do the following:
  • Pull out that oversized box of baking soda (everyone should know the versatility of baking soda & naturally have oodles around), dump about 1 cup in your drain.
  • Now pour about a cup or so of white vinegar down there.
  • Wow! You will see some foaming action going on! This is fun!
  • Let it set while you boil about 3 cups of water, then pour it down.
  • Like I said, do this weekly--put aside a Vinegar Maintenance Day or something like that.
  • The fizzy combo of baking soda & white vinegar will cut through the crud & keep you pipes clear & clean!
