Here's the recipe:
1 cup baking soda
1 cup white vinegar
Put the baking soda in the drain first followed by the vinegar. When the fizzing stops, rinse with very hot water, many recipes will say to use boiling water but I am concerned it will loosen the pipe glue.
Pour boiling water down the drain. Then add a half cup of baking soda and let it sit for a minute. Pour a cup of vinegar and a cup of hot water down the drain. Cover loosely and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Pour another pot of boiling water down the drain to flush out the clog.
How to unclog a drain
The vinegar/baking soda recipe works! And if you have a drain that seems to clog on a regular basis, just add the vinegar/baking soda regime to your monthly cleaning schedule. You might also try one of those plastic barbed drain cleaners that are available at most big box stores. You can insert it in your drain, twist around a bit and pull back out. It's surprising what gunk will be on the barbs.
If it's clogged, you'll have to clear the clog first. Vinegar and baking soda keep the drain clean.
Hi Sandy, this recipe should help you out,
Baking soda is more of a regular cleaning procedure. It the sink is clogged try a plunger first. Look online how to PROPERLY use a plunger as most people don't use them right. the object is to create a pressure then a pulling buy using force to push and pull the clog loose not just wildly jamming the plunger up and down. Catch air in the plunger before you start so air if forced down the drain then slowly create a suction pulling it slowly upward. If plunger does not work try Green Gobbler crystals that swell and force the clog along or Drano that is a strong chemical. That is my last resort.
