This time, however, the blockage was simply too stubborn
I am genuinely careful about what goes down the drains in my house; Although I have a garbage disposal, I never put grease, flour, pasta, rice, big chunks of food, paint or bones down the living room sink… I make sure to scrape the residue from the plates into the garbage. I’ve made the kids aware that cotton balls, Q-tips and flushable wipes should never be flushed down the toilet. I’ve installed screened drain traps into the tubs and bathroom sinks to catch as much hair and debris as possible… Despite all of my precautions, I recently noticed that the tub was slow to drain. I know that plunging can entirely push to blockage deepr and make the situation worse. I’ve read the chemical drain cleaners can cause harm to pipes, however hoping to avoid the expense of hiring a professional plumber, I researched how to safely dissolve clogs… The combination of baking tea and vinegar creates an exchange of molecules and carbon dioxide. It causes water to bubble through the blockage in the brain, cutting up and loosening debris, then using warm water to flush the drain adds pressure! Combined with gravity, this pressure works as a natural and effective drain cleaner. I started the process by pouringh warm water down the tub drain. I followed with a cup of baking tea and a cup of vinegar and then inserted a drain plug. After waiting ten minutes, I once again poured warm water down the drain. I repeated this process every morning for a week. In the past, this method has always worked well for me. This time, however, the blockage was simply too stubborn. I couldn’t make any headway. There was no option however to schedule drain cleaning with a local plumber.
