The Ultimate Guide to Preventing Clogged Drains

Remedies for Clogged Drains

• Use a drain screen or filter to catch hair and other debris before they go down the drain. You can purchase drain screens at most hardware stores.
• Boil water in a kettle and let it cool before pouring it down the drain. The steam will help dissolve any grease or oil that may be causing the clog.
• Use baking soda and vinegar to create a natural drain cleaner. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of vinegar. Let it sit for a few hours before rinsing with hot water.
• Use a plumber's snake (also known as an auger) to clear any blockages in the drain. Feed the snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.
