Struggling with a clogged drain or unpleasant odors emanating from your sink? Before you call in the professionals or rent a heavy-duty machine, try this surprisingly effective homemade solution.

Here’s how to whip up this miracle drain cleaner and get your sink flowing smoothly again.
Why This Combination Works
- Dishwashing Detergent: Acts as a lubricant to help break down greasy residue and ease the movement of material through the pipes.
- Salt: Works as a gentle abrasive to scrub the inside of the pipes and can help dislodge stuck particles.
- Vinegar: A natural acid that reacts with baking soda (if used) to create fizzing action, helping to break down clogs and neutralize odors.
Ingredients and Supplies:
- 1/2 cup of dishwashing detergent (liquid is preferable)
- 1/2 cup of table salt
- 1 cup of white vinegar
- Boiling water
- A kettle or pot for boiling water
