Easy Homemade Drain Cleaner

It's easy to make a natural drain cleaner with two simple ingredients.

What are they? Baking soda and vinegar.

It's not rocket science, although you may remember this same recipe from an early science class. If you had a fun teacher, you were probably shown how to make volcanoes with these same ingredients.

That's essentially what it does in your pipes. A mini volcano of cleaning solvents creates pressure, flushing out the hair, soap build-up, and other gross things that stick around long after you've brushed your teeth.
