There\u2019s nothing quite like realizing the water level has crept up to your ankles halfway through your shower. Ew! Unfortunately, it happens to the best of us. Next time you\u2019re a victim of the drain (sink or shower), use household ingredients you have on hand to solve the problem in a snap. I\u2019m sharing five drain cleaners you can make at home, using everyday staples.\n
Before trying any of these, be sure to first remove your drain screen or stopper and wipe out any visible blockages with a paper towel.\n Pour 1\/2 cup baking soda, followed by 1\/2 cup vinegar down drain. Plug drain, and let sit for one hour. Then, pour a pot of boiling water down drain. Repeat if necessary.\n Pour 1\/2 cup baking soda, followed by 1\/2 cup lemon juice down drain. Plug drain, and let sit for one hour. Finish with a pot of boiling water.\n *If you\u2019re working with a clogged kitchen sink and prefer the smell of lemon to vinegar, consider this method instead of the first method. Do know that lemon juice costs a bit more than vinegar, though.\n Mix 1\/2 cup table salt and 1\/2 cup baking soda together, and pour down drain. Let sit for about 30 minutes (or overnight if it\u2019s a tough clog), and follow with a pot of boiling water.\n Pour 1\/2 cup baking soda, 1\/2 cup salt and 2 tablespoons cream of tartar in a jar that seals. Close jar, and shake to combine ingredients. Pour half the jar\u2019s contents down drain, and save the other half for later. Follow the solution with a pot of boiling water. Let drain sit for one hour. Then, run tap water to rinse any remaining solution down.\n Pour 1\/4 cup salt, followed 1\/4 cup Borax down drain. Then, pour 1\/2 cup vinegar down. Finish with a pot of boiling water. Let sit for one hour or until it clears; then, run hot tap water to rinse any remaining solution down.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There\u2019s nothing quite like realizing the water level has crept up to your ankles halfway through your shower.
