Hello Janna, hope this helps,
After removing standing water from the sink, pour about ½ cup of table salt down the drain before you pour in the boiling water. Let it sit for a few minutes, and then flush with hot water to clear the mixture.
Here is a recipe, salt is antiseptic and abrasive, hope this helps you:

Hi Janna. To clean your drain pour in a half-cup of baking soda then add one- quarter cup salt. Walk away for 15 minuets and for the bubbling duo to do their thing. then wash away with boiling hot water to rid the drain of any remaining residue.
I’ve heard it used as an abrasives to scrub but I would be cautious down the drain. You can get a clog if it clumps, which salt does when wet very easily.
instead try a cup of baking soda followed by a cup of white vinegar. Cover the drain and boil water, after 5-10 minutes, uncover and pour boiling water down the drain.

For bathroom drains, try pouring a tablespoon of salt in the drain. Pour 1/4 cup white vinegar on top of the salt and then leave your drain alone. An hour later, run hot water down the drain.
