Blocked Drains Lincoln

Are you experiencing slow draining or bad smells from your kitchen sink in Lincolnshire? Don't worry, we've got a simple and effective solution for you. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we recommend using baking soda to clean your kitchen drain. This natural and non-toxic method is perfect for homeowners in Lincolnshire who want to avoid harsh chemicals.

Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is a natural cleaner and deodorizer. It's a common household item that can be used to clean and unclog drains, including kitchen sinks. When combined with hot water, baking soda creates a chemical reaction that helps break down grease and food particles that can clog your drain.

1. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain: Start by pouring 1 cup of baking soda down your kitchen drain. Make sure to pour it slowly and evenly to ensure it covers the entire drain.
2. Follow with hot water: Pour 2 cups of hot water down the drain to help the baking soda dissolve and flow through the pipes.
3. Let it sit: Allow the baking soda and hot water mixture to sit in the drain for 30 minutes to an hour. This will give it time to work its magic and break down any blockages.
4. Add vinegar: After the baking soda has sat for 30 minutes to an hour, pour 1 cup of white vinegar down the drain. The acid in the vinegar will help break down any remaining blockages and create a chemical reaction that will help clean the drain.
5. Let it sit again: Allow the vinegar and baking soda mixture to sit in the drain for another 30 minutes to an hour.
6. Rinse with hot water: Finally, rinse the drain with hot water to remove any remaining baking soda and vinegar.

• Make sure to use hot water when rinsing the drain to help dissolve any remaining baking soda and vinegar.
• If you have a garbage disposal, make sure to run cold water through it while it's running to help move the baking soda and vinegar through the pipes.
• If you have a septic system, be careful not to use too much baking soda, as it can disrupt the balance of your septic system.
• If you're experiencing persistent drain problems, it may be best to call a professional plumber, like Blocked Drains Lincoln, to diagnose and fix the issue.
