Blocked Drains Lincoln

Are you tired of dealing with clogged drains in your Lincolnshire home? Instead of reaching for harsh chemicals, consider a natural and effective solution: cleaning your drain with bicarb and vinegar. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we recommend this eco-friendly method for maintaining your drainage system.

Bicarb, also known as baking soda, is a natural abrasive that helps break down grease and debris in your drains. When combined with vinegar, a chemical reaction occurs that can help dissolve blockages and leave your drains flowing freely.

Here's a simple step-by-step guide to cleaning your drain with bicarb and vinegar:

1. Pour 1 cup of bicarb down the drain: Start by pouring 1 cup of bicarb down the drain. This will help loosen any debris and grease that may be causing the blockage.
2. Follow with 1 cup of vinegar: Next, pour 1 cup of vinegar down the drain. The acid in the vinegar will react with the bicarb to create a fizzing reaction that helps break down any blockages.
3. Let the mixture sit: Allow the mixture to sit in the drain for 2-3 hours or overnight. This will give the bicarb and vinegar time to work their magic.
4. Pour boiling water down the drain: After the mixture has sat for the desired amount of time, pour boiling water down the drain to rinse away any remaining debris.
5. Repeat if necessary: If the blockage persists, you can repeat the process until your drain is flowing freely.

The combination of bicarb and vinegar is effective at cleaning drains because of the chemical reaction that occurs when they are mixed. The acid in the vinegar reacts with the bicarb to create a fizzing reaction that helps break down grease and debris. This natural reaction is gentle on your pipes and won't damage your drainage system.

To prevent future blockages, consider using bicarb and vinegar on a regular basis to maintain your drainage system. You can also take steps to reduce the amount of grease and debris that enters your drains, such as:

• Using a drain screen to catch hair and other debris
• Avoiding pouring grease and oil down the drain
• Running hot water through your drains on a regular basis
