Baking soda and vinegar work as a natural drain unblocker
At How It Works, we do know some science hacks for daily life. In fact, you can read about some in issue 164. For blocked drains, one of the best hacks involves baking soda and vinegar. First, you need to pour boiling water down the drain. Then add one cup of baking soda followed by a solution of one cup of vinegar and one cup of water. After ten minutes, pour more boiling water down the drain and much of the clog should have disappeared. This hack works as the acidic vinegar reacts with the baking soda to create a bubbling effect, breaking up and loosening any clogs.
