Does your bathroom sink ever get sluggish? As we all know, accumulation of soap residue, toothpaste and hair can slow drains. Have you ever used baking soda and apple cider vinegar to remedy the problem?
It works! Sprinkle some baking soda around the dry drain and push down as much as possible. Then slowly pour (at least) a half cup of apple cider on top and watch it bubble. I am told (although I can not personally confirm or deny the claim) that this works wonders on hair clogs. I plan to use it the next time it's necessary and if you have tried it, please let me know if you found it effective. The bubbling causes the compaction to loosen and somewhat surface. A crochet hook can then be used to reach in and snag some the culprit. I just know that baking soda/apple cider vinegar worked well on our bathroom drains when they were getting draggy...and I didn't have to do anything else. A little baking soda, a little apple cider vinegar and the bubbles did the work for me. Easy peasy!
A few years ago, a plumber told my parents that pouring plain apple cider vinegar (no baking soda) down the drain each month is an efficient maintenance method. They do this routinely and I am now doing it, too. It can't hurt and it's certainly cheaper and safer than using chemical cleaner.
Apple cider vinegar is touted to be good for many purposes. We all know that it's a natural cleaner and I have read that it also has anti-fungal agents. An article I saw indicated that some people claim that it completely resolved their toe nail issues. Now we know it's even good for washing away your sink problems!
Have a wonderful weekend!
