All Natural way to unclog your drains!

Today I am going to share with you THE MOST AWESOME way to unclog your drains! It is inexpensive and safe for the environment, kids, and pets.

                        So for those of you out there who have ever lived with a man (or is a man) knows that a clogged toilet is an unavoidable situation from time to time! The other night after ungodly amounts of plunging, my poor hubby could not unclog the toilet :(  So, I said "No prob! I'll go to the store tomorrow and get some Drano." When I get to the store I am shocked that not one of the 50 items they had are safe to use on a toilet! What the heck!! So what do I do? I google that shit! I'm not paying a plumber to come out and do it. I find many options, most of which don't seem like good possibilities, then I see the baking soda and vinegar way and figure it's worth a shot.

*Side Note: due to the grossness of this post there will be no photos, your welcome :)

                       I get home with my bottle of vinegar and my box of baking soda and get to work. Now just so you know what I'm working with....the water is clear, everything wanted to go down but got stuck somewhere deep in the pipes. So I pour in the baking soda, then the vinegar and I am skeptical that it will work. Suddenly it starts to smell horrible and the water gets "murky" and I am hoping that means its working. I go to the kitchen to get a bucket of hot water and come back a few minutes later....it now smells & looks much worse! I start to pour in the hot water and it isn't going anywhere, it's just filling up the bowl and I am starting to freak out that all I did was make it worse!! So I bust out the plunger and it quickly starts draining, I pour in the other half of the water to clean out the bowl. I then flush as a test to make sure it is indeed cleared....Ahhh Success!

                      This process cost me less than $2 and took about 8 mins! I will never use those expensive chemical drain uncloggers again! I have seen this method used for sinks but never for the toilet. So what exactly is the process you ask?

Items Needed:

• 1 small 16oz box of baking soda (.50 cents)
• 1 large bottle of vinegar (the one pictured is small, you will need more vinegar for a toilet) (.88 cents)

How To:

1. Pour the entire box of baking soda in toilet 
2. Slowly pour the entire bottle of vinegar into toilet. You will need to stop a couple times because it will foam up. 
3. This needs to set for a few minutes to work it's magic. While you are waiting get a large pot or bucket and fill with hot tap water. DO NOT use boiling water, it can cause the toilet to crack, just get your tap as hot as you can.
4. Hold the bucket about waist level and pour slowly into toilet. Use plunger if needed (like I did). Be sure to pour the entire bucket of water in the toilet.

*This process can be used on sinks as well, just use much less of all items but follow the same process.
