Slow drains don’t have to cost a fortune with baking soda and vinegar.
I don’t know about you but I am loosing my hair by the handfuls. They tell me that is part of post pregnancy freedom. I say that I have been loosing it for years and that having a baby doesn’t have anything to do with it. Why is this important? It’s not. Just thought I’d bring a little TMI into the mix. Just kidding. I bring it up because I keep slow drains in my bathroom all the time. I also know what it is from. GROSS!
So I go to the store and spend tons of money on drain cleaners and use them on a regular basis. It’s killing me. Then I found a good recipe for a natural drain cleaner that is safe for my septic system. Take and pour ½ cup baking soda down the drain and chase it with 1 c white vinegar. Let it bubble for a few minutes and then rinse it with 1 gallon of boiling water. Now, before you think I am really smart, let me send you to a great article that gave me this wonderful idea. Now you know I am just a vinegar-holic.

[…] Baking soda is one of “Nature’s” best cleaning agents. It is cheap and hard working. It amazes me how many different ways we can use baking soda in our houses aside from cooking. Amazingly enough, there are health and beauty uses for baking soda as well. Here are my top 10 favorite uses of baking soda around the house. 1. Mix baking soda and table salt with water for a great paste to clean your porcelain tub or sink. 2. Stick an open box in the fridge /freezer to get rid of odors. 3. Baking soda and water paste to shine up that silver. 4. Mix baking soda with Borax for a scouring powder instead of harsh smelling cleaners. 5. Soak thermoses and tea cups with hot water and 3 tsp baking soda to remove coffee and tea stains. 6. Baking soda and a wet sponge will clean crayon off a chalk board. 7.
