In this guide, we’ll show you simple, natural methods to fix slow drains without relying on harsh chemicals. Protect your plumbing, keep your home safe, and avoid costly repairs!

βœ… Baking Soda + Vinegar Method

  1. Pour 1/2 cup of baking soda down the drain.
  2. Follow with 1 cup of white vinegar.
  3. Let sit for 15 minutes (you’ll notice fizzing as it works to break down debris).
  4. Flush with hot water.

This combo naturally dissolves buildup and eliminates odors.

βœ… Boiling Water Flush

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  2. Slowly pour it down the drain.
  3. Repeat if necessary.

Great for breaking up grease and soap scum!

βœ… Salt + Baking Soda Scrub

  1. Mix 1/2 cup of salt with 1/2 cup of baking soda.
  2. Pour the mixture down the drain.
  3. Let it sit overnight.
  4. Flush with boiling water in the morning.

The coarse texture helps scrub away buildup.

βœ… Plunger Technique

  1. Fill the sink or tub with enough water to cover the plunger head.
  2. Use the plunger to create suction and loosen debris.
  3. Repeat until the water drains smoothly.

βœ… Drain Catch Installation Tip

Install a drain catch to prevent hair and debris from clogging your pipes. This simple fix can save you from future slow drains!
