Introduction:
A clean sink and drain are essential for a healthy kitchen, but over time, food particles, soap scum, and grime can build up, causing unpleasant odors and even slow drainage. Instead of reaching for harsh chemicals, try this natural method to clean your sink and drain in just 5 minutes. Using simple ingredients that are likely already in your kitchen, this solution is effective, eco-friendly, and safe for your pipes. Whether you’re preparing for guests or just want a fresher kitchen, this quick fix will have your sink looking and smelling like new.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup baking soda
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 cup hot water
10 drops of essential oil (optional, for added fragrance)
A clean sponge or cloth
Instructions:
Clear the Sink: Remove any dishes, food scraps, or debris from your sink. You want to start with a clean surface.
Pour Baking Soda: Sprinkle 1/2 cup of baking soda into the drain. Be sure to cover the entire drain area.
Add Vinegar: Slowly pour 1/2 cup of white vinegar over the baking soda. You will hear a fizzing sound as the ingredients react. This reaction helps break down grime and buildup in the pipes.
Let it Sit: Allow the baking soda and vinegar to sit for 3-5 minutes. This gives the mixture time to work its magic, loosening any dirt and buildup inside the drain.
