Blocked Drains Harrogate

Are you experiencing a blocked drain in your North Yorkshire home or business? Look no further than this simple and effective method using bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) and vinegar. At Blocked Drains Harrogate, we understand the frustration and inconvenience caused by a clogged drain, and we're here to guide you through this DIY solution.

Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is a natural cleaner and deodorizer, while vinegar is a mild acid. When combined, they react to produce carbon dioxide gas, which helps to break down and dislodge blockages in your drain. This method is a great alternative to harsh chemicals and is gentle on your pipes.

• 1 cup of baking soda (bicarbonate of soda)
• 1 cup of vinegar
• Boiling water
• A sink or drain that needs clearing

1. Pour Baking Soda Down the Drain: Start by pouring 1 cup of baking soda down the blocked drain. Make sure to pour it slowly and evenly to ensure it reaches the blockage.
2. Follow with Vinegar: Next, pour 1 cup of vinegar down the drain. You'll start to see the mixture fizz and bubble as the acid in the vinegar reacts with the baking soda.
3. Let it Sit: Allow the mixture to sit in the drain for 2-3 hours or overnight. This will give it time to work its way through the blockage and break it down.
4. Pour Boiling Water: After the mixture has sat for the desired amount of time, pour a kettle of boiling water down the drain to rinse it through. This will help to clear any remaining blockages and debris.
5. Repeat if Necessary: If the blockage is particularly stubborn, you may need to repeat the process a few times before it's fully cleared.

• Make sure to use a ratio of 1:1 baking soda to vinegar to ensure the reaction is effective.
• If you have a particularly stubborn blockage, you can let the mixture sit for a longer period of time or repeat the process a few times.
• Be careful when handling boiling water, as it can cause burns.
• If you're unsure about the cause of the blockage or if the problem persists after trying this method, it's best to call a professional drainage company like Blocked Drains Harrogate.
