For it to function efficiently, sink drains need care too.

Households do not have to spend a lot though on drain cleaners because this can in fact be home-made using ingredients that may already be in the pantry.

Country Living shared a DIY recipe.

“If you’re into “lazy” shortcuts when it comes to maintaining your home (and honestly, who isn’t?), then this drain-cleaning trick is for you. It takes about 15 seconds to clear away all of the gunk caught up in your pipe, and it’s an all-natural way to do it, too! So before you grab your car keys to head to the grocery store to spend $8 on a bottle of Drano, try this inexpensive trick from AWM that only requires ingredients you already have in your pantry—baking soda, white vinegar, and some hot water to finish it off.”

Easy to make homemade drain cleaner

Houselogic also posted yet another easy to follow recipe. Escondido, CA Plumbing 

“Use ¼ cup of the mixture for a small drain and ½ cup for a large drain. Put the dry mixture on top of the drain. Then slowly pour in two cups of boiling water. The mixture will foam and bubble while unplugging the drain. Get more details about the drain cleaner here.”

If that fails here is a great all-natural homemade drain cleaner and de-clogger recipe.”

  1. I've been having issues with a drain blockage for a while now and nothing seems to work. I bought a few different products and even used a plunger, I'm gonna give this a go now. Fingers crossed! I love the idea of making my own products too, let's hope it works for me! Thank you for the information!
