Keep Sinks Running Smoothly

Eventually you will find one or more of your sinks (and shower drains) making gurgling noises when you turn off the water, meaning something is preventing the water from draining correctly. Many newer homes have plastic pipes (especially in the bathroom sink area) so using a corrosive product can do more harm then good.

Get 1 cup of baking soda and 2 cups of vinegar. Spoon all of the baking soda down the drain. Pour all of the vinegar into the drain (it will start to foam). Let the mixture sit for THREE HOURS. After three hours, pour a bucket of very hot tap water down the same drain. Works wonders.

If it gets better but not completely clear, wait a day and repeat the process.
