Baking Soda, Water, Vinegar and Lemons…Green Cleaning

August 19, 2013 by Howard Baltus

Baking soda is an excellent choice for helping drains stay clear because while it is alkaline—a pH of 11—it isn’t as caustic and damaging as the commonly used lye-based commercial products.

 

 

 

Ideally, use baking  soda on your drains once a week to keep them clear. Just pour 1/4 cup or so down the drain, and then flush with water.

 

If you still have a clog, try pouring down 1 cup of vinegar. Being an acid, the vinegar will neutralize the baking  soda and there will be some foaming and gurgling, but sometimes this agitation is all that is needed in the end to dislodge the grime.

 

To keep your drains smelling  fresh,  toss your  lemon peels into the garbage disposal after you make home made lemonade, brighten your seafood or bake a delicious lemon meringue  pie with fresh lemons.
