The Correct Way to Unclog a Drain With Vinegar and Baking Soda

Julie Edelmann — the Accidental Housewife herself — shows us how we can unclog our drains with simple household ingredients.

When a sink drain gets clogged, your first thought might be to call a plumber or use a liquid clog remover.

Before you do, "Accidental Housewife" Julie Edelman shares an easy method for unclogging it yourself — using budget-friendly and natural ingredients.

Here's what you'll need:

• 1/2 cup baking soda
• 1/4 cup white vinegar
• Pot of boiling water

Step 1: Pour baking soda down drain.

Step 2: Pour vinegar down drain and wait for bubbling to stop. (If it doesn't bubble, you may need a fresh box of baking powder)

Step 3: Pour a whole kettle of hot water down drain.
