Blocked Drains Harrogate

Are you experiencing a clogged drain in your North Yorkshire home? Don't worry, we've got a simple and eco-friendly solution for you. At Blocked Drains Harrogate, we recommend using baking soda to unblock your drain. This method is safe, non-toxic, and cost-effective.

Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is a natural cleaner and deodorizer. When combined with water, it forms a paste that can help break down and dissolve grease, hair, and other debris that clog your drains.

1. Pour Baking Soda Down the Drain: Start by pouring 1 cup of baking soda down the clogged drain. Make sure to pour it slowly to avoid creating a mess.
2. Add Boiling Water: Next, pour 2 cups of boiling water down the drain. The hot water will help dissolve the baking soda and create a paste.
3. Let it Sit: Allow the mixture to sit in the drain for 2-3 hours or overnight. This will give the baking soda time to work its magic and break down the clog.
4. Add Vinegar: After the mixture has sat for a few hours, pour 1 cup of white vinegar down the drain. The acid in the vinegar will react with the baking soda and create a fizzing action that will help dislodge the clog.
5. Let it Fizz: Allow the mixture to fizz and bubble for 30 minutes to an hour. This will help loosen and break down the clog.
6. Hot Water Rinse: Finally, pour hot water down the drain to rinse away the baking soda and vinegar mixture.

• To prevent clogs from forming in the future, consider using a drain screen or filter to catch hair and other debris before they go down the drain.
