Clog Schmog

Note:  This is not my bathroom.  But I kind of wish it was.  I'm in the mood for a redo!

So, we have this sink in our bathroom that always seems to get clogged.  I don't know why, and I'm not even sure I want to know why!  But it is definitely clogmatic. 

And I just hate to buy Drano - which just seems so, well, toxic. I feel like I have to wear a Hazmat suit just to protect myself.  So, I went in search of a safter, greener option, that would make me feel oh so much better about unclogging my nasty drain problem. 

After a quick google search, I found this:



Isn't she lovely?  And her idea really works!  I tried it . . . and SUCCESS!  And best of all, she used environmentally safe products, that I always have on hand -- baking soda, vinegar and water.  YAY for the cute lady with the hot pink gloves! 

So . . . if you don't want to take the time to watch the 1 minute, 34 second video, here is what you do:  (and I know, I know, every minute is precious - please don't have guilt about not watching this youtube beauty)

1.  remove drain stopper if you can (I skipped this step)
2.  pour 1/2 cup baking powder directly down drain
3.  pour 1/2 cup vinegar directly down drain
4.  pour a kettle full of boiling hot water directly down drain

And that's it!  And I swear it works!   This made me happy for a few reasons . . . this option is cheaper than Drano OR a plumber AND maybe it will prevent my husband from spending a Saturday unclogging our dang sink. 

And with all the time you've saved, you can take the time to watch this youtube video.  Because it is just oh so worth it!  Seriously, have you seen it?  Amazing!



And really, it is true! . . . clean feels good!
