21.22 - natural drain cleaner

Commercial drain cleaners are bad for the environment and incredibly harsh on pipes. Fortunately, natural ingredients can be combined to created an incredibly effective homemade drain cleaner, degreaser, and declogging agent.

I have personally done this in my old home with pipes that routinely do not drain well. After the baking soda and vinegar cleaning, my pipes drain like champs!

    I've never tried it with salt. I've used the baking soda and vinegar trick, though.

      21.71 - The salt is an added scrubbing agent to help break down and loosen any gunk clogging the drain. I've used the drain cleaner with and without the salt depending on how dirty I thoughty drains were.
