Sherpa Tips - Friendly Drain Cleaner

Do you happen to have some vinegar and baking soda at home? (you should - these are very versatile products, not to mention very cheap!).

Rather than dumping a full bottle of Draino or Liquid Plummer down your drain, try 1/2 cup of baking soda then 1/2 cup of white vinegar. Flush with hot water, and repeat if necessary.

One word of caution - you probably shouldn’t try this if you have already tried the usual chemicals. Vinegar CAN react with certain household chemicals to produce toxic gases.
