It may seem like your kitchen and bathroom drains get clogged on a regular basis. Professional plumbing companies offer a complete variety of services and will repair your clogged drains at your home or office but many recommend some green ways to keep your drains open, without using powerful industrial chemicals (that can be harmful to the environment).
There are many natural ways of getting rid from this drain clogging problem. From any health food stores, you can get bacteria based enzyme cleaners. Use a cup of baking soda in your drain and put around 3 cups of boiling water to get rid of this problem.
The chemical composition of the baking soda is changed by the boiling water, making it more alkaline. If the water is not draining from your sink or bathtub, pour a cup of washing soda down the drain and let it set there for a while to work its way down to where the clog is.
Washing soda is more alkaline in nature as compared to baking soda so if you plan to use it then be careful and don’t use it immediately after using any commercial drain cleaner that is acidic in nature. By reaction of these two chemicals, there is a chance that any bigger problem will evolve.
By frequent use of washing soda, the plastic in your PVC pipe could also get damaged. To prevent such problems, it is advised to call a plumber to help you out. In few cases, combination of baking soda, vinegar and boiling water is used as that will result in bubbles and fizzing that could unclog your drains.
This method works particularly well when it is hair that is clogging the drain. Again, use caution with any of these methods.
In case the drain of your kitchen is clogged then you can also use any natural product like a living enzyme culture drain cleaners to help you. These enzymes break down any organic matter that is clogged up in your drains. It will also prevent the strong odor coming out from your garbage disposal.
There could be cases that you won’t be able to solve the problem on your own. In that case an expert plumber should be called as he could easily find out the reason for the clog and can act upon that. It is recommended to act upon these problems at the earliest so that you can prevent them from becoming severe.
