keep drains flowing

kitchen

• hot water 
• liquid dish detergent and a large volume of boiling water
• Once a month, pour a cup of baking soda down each drain in your home, followed by a cup of white vinegar. Let the solution sit for about an hour, and then flush with warm water. The baking soda reacts with the vinegar to create a foam that will remove most residue from tubs, showers, and sinks.
• First, pour about ¾ of a cup of baking soda into the drain.
• Follow this up with about ½ cup of vinegar poured down the drain; immediately cover the drain with either a plug or a plate- whatever you need to do to keep everything inside the drain.
• Allow this mixture to sit inside the drain for approximately 30 minutes; don’t use the drain while you wait for the mixture to work its magic.
• When 30 minutes is up, remove the cover (or plug) and let hot water run through the pipes for a few minutes.
