Regularly cleaning your drainage system prevents clogs and backups.
Step 1: Boiling Water
Pour boiling water down the drain to clear minor clogs and dissolve grease and grime. Repeat this process weekly to maintain clear drains.
Step 2: Baking Soda and Vinegar
Use a mixture of half a cup of baking soda and half a cup of vinegar to break down the buildup. Pour it down the drain, cover, and let it sit for 15 minutes before flushing with hot water.
Step 3: Drain Cleaner
For more challenging clogs, use a commercial drain cleaner. Follow the instructions carefully and ensure proper ventilation when using chemical cleaners.
Step 4: Flush with Hot Water
After cleaning, flush the drain with hot water to remove any remaining debris and ensure smooth flow.
