Home solutions that work magic in your drains

•  
• Before giving you the details, keep in mind that similar to taking prescribed medicine, carefully follow the directions in using home solutions. This is because while they don’t have bad effects on your drains, using too much or too little might not work, or might trigger some problems.  
•  
• Steaming water. This method could not be more simple as you only need water and a kettle to prepare this. Once the water is steaming hot, carefully pour it down the drain. A couple of cups should be good if the clog is not stubborn enough to clear. It works perfectly in loosening the greasy gunks holding the clog together, like fats, oil, and even soap scum because they usually contain moisturizer that is made of lightweight oils. But, if your first attempt didn’t work, or if you have a porcelain toilet, sink, or plastic pipings, tick this solution off your list. Boiling water may cause damages beyond repair, so the key is just the right amount. 
•  
• Triple treat. Not only is your kitchen staple such as baking soda, salt, and vinegar good at cleaning, they are also life-saver when it comes to clearing weak clogs. As compared to chemical cleaners, these natural products are safe and do not have an effect on health when used. Scientists found these combinations to be an effective replacement for chemical drain cleaners. When you want to give this solution a try, be sure to carefully follow the 1 is to 1 ratio for all ingredients. Make sure to remove any standing water first, then pour the baking soda, followed by salt, then vinegar. Wait for 10 minutes, then flush it with the same amount of boiling water as previously suggested.

  Hand tools – If you want to give your arms a good workout, you can also use a plunger to clear a clog. Make sure you’re using a working plunger. Damaged plunger is likely to create good suction and you may end up working harder than necessary to unclog your drain. Take it out from where you tucked it and place it on the toilet or sink mouth with the suction pad face down. You can apply vaseline on the suction lid to make sure it gets a good latch, then you can start plunging up and down while maintaining a good suction all throughout the motion. 

•  
• If you’re comfortable using an auger, you can also give it a try. Slide the auger down the drain and rotate the handle. The auger will move farther down to push the clog away when you do this. Keep repeating the steps until you can feel the clog has dislodged. Many times the plunger and auger will fix the issue and save you from hiring a plumber, but if you feel like you’re gonna end up reaching for your chemical drain cleaners, stop and call the professionals instead. It’s not all the time that chemical drain cleaners also worked, plus you will only end up with a drain full of toxic chemicals.
