How to Use Soda Crystals to Clean Drains in North Yorkshire

November is the perfect time to give your drains a thorough clean, especially in North Yorkshire where the cold weather can cause blockages and slow down your drainage system. At Blocked Drains Harrogate, we recommend using soda crystals to clean your drains, a natural and eco-friendly alternative to harsh chemicals.

What are Soda Crystals?

Soda crystals, also known as washing soda, are a type of sodium carbonate that has been used for centuries as a cleaning agent. They are non-toxic, biodegradable, and gentle on pipes, making them an ideal solution for cleaning drains.

How to Use Soda Crystals to Clean Drains

Using soda crystals to clean your drains is a simple and effective process. Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Pour 1 cup of soda crystals down the drain: Make sure to use a cup that is specifically designed for pouring, as soda crystals can be messy.
  2. Follow with hot water: Pour 2-3 cups of hot water down the drain to help the soda crystals dissolve and flow through the pipes.
  3. Let it sit: Allow the soda crystals to sit in the drain for 30 minutes to an hour. This will give them time to break down any blockages and debris.
  4. Rinse with hot water: After the soda crystals have sat in the drain for the recommended time, rinse the drain with hot water to remove any remaining debris.

Tips and Precautions

  • Use soda crystals regularly: To keep your drains flowing freely, use soda crystals every 1-2 months.
  • Avoid using bleach: Bleach can damage pipes and harm the environment, so it's best to avoid using it altogether.
  • Don't use soda crystals on grease blockages: Soda crystals are not effective at breaking down grease, so if you have a grease blockage, it's best to use a different cleaning agent.
  • Be careful with hair: Hair can cause blockages in drains, so be sure to use a drain screen or filter to catch any loose hair before it goes down the drain.
