How Do You Unclog Drains Without Chemicals?
If you want a few safe alternatives to drain cleaners made up of a caustic and corrosive chemical stew, then try a few of these environmentally friendly choices. They are safe and natural. To reduce or eliminate clogs, use good drain maintenance. A little preventive maintenance is easy and can go a long way toward solving the problem of clogged drains. Use a plunger on clogs whenever possible. Plungers are safe, environmentally friendly and relatively easy to use. Remove the stopper from the drain hole of the sink or tub. Some stoppers lift out and others unscrew counter-clockwise. Some older varieties unscrew from under the sink. Make sure there is standing water in the basin and the overflow has been covered with tape or stuffed with a cloth. Pump the plunger up and down briskly to create suction. If that doesn’t work, try adding more water to the basin to create additional pressure. Attack more stubborn clogs with a drain snake. Inexpensive snakes are available at your local home re
