How to quickly unclog a drain without a plunger and chemicals – you only need one natural ingredient

Clogs in the sink are caused by grease, soap, and food residue that settle on the pipe walls. Instead of aggressive chemicals or using a plunger, the problem can be solved with a natural and safe method – soda crystals (sodium carbonate).

How to use soda to clean the drain

Soda is a highly alkaline product. It effectively breaks down grease and organic deposits and is safe for pipes and the environment.

How to clean a drain with baking soda:

1. Pour boiling water down the drain to soften the blockage.
2. Pour 90 g of baking soda (about half a glass).
3. Add another portion of boiling water to activate the product.
4. Leave on for 30 minutes or longer if the blockage is severe.
5. Rinse the drain with hot water.

After that, any blockage will dissolve and the drain will be unobstructed.
