Have you tried any of these or any other natural methods to unclog a drain?

The Coca Cola worked for me…

[@joangel777]

Yes, pour pure bleach down the clogged kitchen sink or clogged bathroom sink or clogged toilet, wait for an hour, then pour hot water afterwards, once the clog has cleared, run cold water down the sink or flush the toilet a few extra times to ensure the clog is cleared all the way through the pipes. I also agree with his advise to perform monthly maintenance to prevent future clogs. I almost used Coca-cola, but I want to drink it with my pizza. LOL' I almost used salt, but I need that for my cooking. I almost used vinegar, but I need that to clean my vegetables and fruits. I almost used baking soda, but I need that for my laundry. I almost used hydrogen peroxide, but I need that for my first aid.

[@priscilaclement6051]

I am a 74 yr old lady living independently. Today I tried the baking soda and vinegar /hot water treatment and it worked!! Worked the first time! Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. I am very grateful. Really super easy solution for a worrisome problem.

[@georgiaposidis1043]

Thanks Joy, after watching this video I went straight to my bathroom where I have a slow sink. The water goes down but really slowly. I dumped about half a cup of baking soda and half a cup of white vinegar and it fizzed for some time. I then took a bristle brush that I used for cleaning bottles, gave it a quick brushing and bam I couldn’t believe my eyes after pouring hot water from the tap. It went down like no tomorrow. I did the same to my kitchen sink and bam that was clean as a whistle. Once again thanks!

[@oskanaspencer2008]

Just checked your site how to unblock drains whilst visiting my sisters house and did the 1st process and amazing it worked!!! Thank you soo much brilliant

[@Pgan803]

Excellent tips. Another tip is to keep the water tap running at max after you have cleaned your dishes, this will drain oils and debris. Most of us shut off immediately finished cleaning plates so not enough water to drain the pipes. Keep the pipes opened for a few minutes. Never clogged again

[@donnahill8403]

Thank you very much for tips on how to clean drain clogs.

[@sammyhooligan803]

Great ideas for simple drain clogs. Also for toilet plunger I use only the Acordian type that sucks in more water than flange type in it and forces more water into toilet drain hole . Forces more water faster to unclog drain faster. And using very hot water mixed with degreaser /dish soap in toilet first plunging enough to get mixture to clog then for 15-30 minutes wait then plunged again works perfect

[@Mae-vq1du]

That works, but a plummer taught me to just use very hot water and lots of it.

[@sophiedsilva4972]

Today my washbasin drain was clogged. I seen your remedy and followed it. Thank-you very much for sharing this method of baking soda, dishwash solution and vinegar with hot water. It really worked and made me tension free.

If you don't have a plunger & toilet is blocked ..... Just use a basic floor mop (cotton string head on wooden pole) Tie a plastic carrier bag over mop head .. ram it down toilet pan a few times until the blockage clears. Always worked for me.x

As a preventive measure, I fill my double kitchen sinks with water all the way to the top. Then at the same time I pull both drain plug stops, and let the water drain out of both sinks at the same time.

There's a hack where you slice little downward notches in a straw or zip tie(s) to make yr own drain grabber snake thingy for hair, gunk, etc. I've got long hair and shed worse than my dog, and this works great in the shower. I'm about to try it in the bathroom sink lol

[@bryanbennett972]

We have found that Dawn Dish Soap works best for eating grease in the Kitchen sink. We used another brand for hand washing dishes, pots and pans, etc. for years and got clogged drains occasionally. A friend who is actually a plumber told us he always recommends folks use Dawn in the Kitchen sink because he has found drains rarely clog if customers are Dawn users vs. other brands.

[@yepdodamath]

I plan to use that in my bakery and have the biggest jug of Dawn they could make!

[@davevillalobo9910]

I'm totally agreed with you Bryan you are right!! Dawn is the best Dish soap you can use to wash your dishes.👍👍

I’m glad to see this, because I have the vinegar and baking soda it just got delivered last week, because I have no way to get anywhere. And I’ve got a good plunger and it definitely has power to do the job. My problem, is that I have had dishes in the sink along time and I have a strainer or a screen to keep stuff out of the sink, but I think it got moved and stuff went down there. So this week, my goal is to empty the sinks out I’ve got some stuff I need to throw away that’s in there anyway because I’m swapping out plastic containers and some plates, and then I’m going to clean the drain and get it open. And I do have sodas although none are regular cokes I do have regular seven ups and I have plenty of salt to try that with soda so My goal is to put all my heavy duty gloves, empty the sink, and start doing what I think would be best to go through some standing water; it’s not much but if the natural cures don’t unblock it, I have heavy duty Drano if nothing else works, and I do hate to use chemicals. So thank you so much for sharing because it is giving me other ideas to try.

[@asian123205]

what kind of vinegar did u brought? and the baking soda?

[@zainabrazanaqvi7922]

Thank you. All the tips I tried but coat hanger worked for Me 🙂

[@bobeastrise]

Sorry to be a downer here but I've been a service plumber for 38 years, if ANY of these were the answer don't you think we would be advocating for them, I never enjoy drain cleaning so would not under any circumstances deny anyone solving their own problems, this is nothing but a temporary reprieve for snaking/jetting the line. When hot water is used all it does is temporarily loosens the grease and sends it further down the waste pipe where it cools and becomes a solid again. Plungers will blow a small hole through the softest debris and let it drain then gets clogged easier then before. Personally I use Dawn dishwashing detergent in all sinks which degreases the drain as it flows, which often then allows the debris caught in it to flow, I haven't had to snake my own drains for many years because of it. But I have had to remove hair caught on things like the popup rod in bathroom sinks popup drains, or it's become caught on the popup itself, which is usually easy to solve by removing the rod trapping the popup in the drain and fishing the hair out.

[@ilahildasissac1943]

[@peterszigeti7476]

Here you are something important. When you want to use a pump firstly pour some water into the basin, then put your finger or palm on the opening of the small safety hole, so the air cannot leave the safety tube through the small opening. Then use the pump with your other hand. This way the water in the tube presses the dirty blockage more strongly on the inside.

[@premiladewnarayan8781]

good tips to clean our drains

[@johnschlesinger2009]

When using a plunger ina sink it's essential to firmly cover the overflow outlet, otherwise pressure won't build up in the drain when using the plunger.

[@joerooney6724]

If the clog is in the drain pipe in the wall, then it is wasted time. A snake is what will fix the problem. It would have to be in the T fitting above the P-trap just under the sink.

[@milviamoran4392]

Thank You 👍

[@donotwantahandle1111]

Here's my method: Remove the wire hoop from a basin plug and drill a hole through the plug. Glue a garden hose spigot onto the plug. Attach a garden hose to the nearest tap (eg. laundry washing machine cold spigot) and the other onto the plug spigot. Turn on the tap whilst holding the plug in and mains pressure will unblock the pipe!

Another method for unclogging drains is: pour down 1/2 cup of bleach . let it sit for 15 minutes and then flush it out with hot water. you may have to try this more than 1 time.

Our kitchen sink started draining painfully slowly since I replaced it some years ago, going from a 2 bowl to a single farmhouse type bowl. I had tried just about everything to clear it, but nothing wanted to work. Fortunately, we have a dishwasher, and the drain for it connects to the sink drain just below that drain. Also fortunately, I'm not one to throw things away that I think I might use in the future, and as a result I have a drain plug that I had saved when I removed the garbage disposal (can't use one of those with a septic system anyway, but it came with the house). That disposal drain plus fit the drain perfectly & tightly, so I figured that the hot soapy drain water from the dishwasher would clean things out. Turns out that I was wrong and the clog was tougher than the water & soap and proceeded to push the drain plug out and the water backflowed into the sink before slowly draining. Finally, one day, I decided that enough was enough, so I started the dishwasher, inserted the plug into the drain, and made sure I was right there as the dishwasher started to drain, and put the palm of my hand on top of the plug and held it down in place. That did the trick perfectl;y, and now the drain is clear and fast flowing with no backup from the dishwasher when it is running either.
