'Genius' salt hack to quickly unclog your drains with absolutely no effort Cleaning enthusiasts have been trying a viral trend to unclog drains - and claim it works wonders.
Clare, from Bust The Dust, says mixing baking soda, white vinegar and salt “works just as well, if not better, than many of the products you’ll find in stores”.
For this method, simply pour 100g of table salt and 200g of baking soda into the blocked drain, followed by 500ml white vinegar.
“You’ll immediately notice a fizzy reaction as the vinegar reacts with the baking soda to break down debris," said Clare.
Clare explained that the impressive ingredients “create a powerful reaction that breaks down grease, hair, soap scum, and food particles” that typically cause blockages.
