How to safely clean pipes and remove blockages: only natural products

SSPDaily has prepared the following tips on how to safely and properly clean pipes, quickly and effectively remove blockages using natural products. There is also information about preventive measures and regular maintenance.

Natural products

Harsh chemicals should be avoided and milder alternatives such as baking soda, vinegar, and hot water should be used instead. These common household products can break down and remove stubborn debris or clogs.

Simply pour a cup of baking soda followed by a cup of vinegar down the drain and let them fizz for a few minutes. Then rinse with hot water. This approach not only keeps the pipes safe but also benefits the environment.

Preventive measures

To begin with, install drain covers or strainers to trap dirt such as hair and food particles. In addition, refrain from pouring grease or oil down the drain as they tend to solidify and cause persistent clogs.

Instead, collect used grease in a container and dispose of it properly. Finally, flushing the sewer with hot water weekly can effectively prevent residue from building up and prevent clogs from forming.

Regular maintenance

A practical approach includes using a plumbing cable to remove accumulated debris. Insert the cord into the drain and rotate it to dislodge and clear any buildup. Alternatively, run hot water through each part of the plumbing system to remove deposits and prevent clogging.
