1
Remove all objects from the sink, and wait for the standing water to go down.
-
2
If there is standing water in the sink, it won't work.
-
3
Put the vinegar into a tall measuring cup or measure out the vinegar and put it into a tall container-- If you have a really serious clog, up the proportion to 1-2 cups of each.
-
4
The proportion is all the same.
-
5
MAKE SURE everything is all clear-- because once you mix the baking soda into the vinegar it must be used IMMEDIATELY!
-
6
It will foam up very high (remember the innumerable volcano science fair projects from the late 70s/early 80s?)
-
7
and when it does this you have to pour it right away in order to remove the clog.
-
8
If you wait too long, it won't do anything.
-
9
Pour the foaming mixture right down the clogged drain.
-
10
Rinse out any baking soda stuck in the cup with hot water pour down as well.
-
11
Run your hot water tap and let it run continuously until the sink is filled about halfway.
-
12
Don't worry, it's doing its work.
-
13
Just stand back and let the compound and water take its course for a couple minutes, it'll take longer if it's a really big clog.
-
14
Mine clogs horrendously but only takes about 5 minutes.
-
15
Eventually, the sink will run clear.
-
16
Run some more water over any leftover baking soda bits, or use those bits to clean up any crud left in the sink!
