Baking Soda, to the rescue! (Again)


So, I have a confession to make. I'm kind of gross. This may be a surprise to some, but to those who have actually lived with me, especially when I was in college, this is not new information (I will not go into the tomato soup debacle of aught 5. You're welcome).

For those who have lived with me, they likely have discovered that I shower, you know, once and awhile, like to cook but hate doing dishes, and generally avoid things that need to be done around the house. So the requirements I have of doing something like, say, unclogging a drain are the following:

1. Use products that will not kill me or whatever is on the other side of the drain.
2. Take little to no effort on my part.

So after avoiding my stopped up drain for oh a day or so (or a week (or two)) I googled how to unclog a drain and found this gem. I've decided to give it a try.

First, dump about 3/4 c dry baking soda down your drain. Next, Take 1/2 c vinegar and pour it in after. Plug up the hole! Don't you see everything is exploding! It's science!

Wait about 30 min. In the meantime, boil tea kettle full of water. After the 30 minutes are up, slowly pour the hot water down the drain.

Voila! Welcome back to humanity! You don't live if a filthy den of disgusting clogged drains anymore!
