Understanding the Problem
Grease and fat can solidify in your drains, causing blockages and slow water flow. This can lead to unpleasant odors, backups, and even damage to your pipes. To avoid these issues, it's essential to clean your drains regularly, especially after cooking with oil or grease.
DIY Cleaning Methods
Before calling a professional, try these simple methods to clean grease from your drains:
- Hot Water: Pour hot water down the drain to help dissolve and flush out grease.
- Baking Soda and Vinegar: Mix equal parts baking soda and vinegar to create a natural cleaning solution. Pour the mixture down the drain and let it sit for a few hours before rinsing with hot water.
- Dish Soap: Use a small amount of dish soap to help break down grease. Pour the soap down the drain and rinse with hot water.
