Make Your Own Drain Cleaner
Can you look in your laundry and bathroom cupboards and find umpteen
tins and bottles of pungent, toxic cleaners?

One whiff of any of them will probably leave you short of breath.
These cleaners are wiped around toilet seats, baths and
kitchen surfaces, not to mention the fact that our clothes are
drenched in them each time we do the washing. A lot of
cleaning products are absorbed by our skin. Many are
carcinogenic and many can affect our central nervous system.
So far
we have only mentioned the affect on our bodies but what about the
affect on our environment. That's another story we don't need
to go into here as you are well aware of how fragile it is.
Lets get down to something constructive and make some healthy
cleaners. Most of ingredients are in your pantry right now, so

Make your own drain
cleaner without nasty chemicals:
Cleaning drains method 1:
If water has not yet started to back up then pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain followed by 750 ml (3 cups) of boiling water. This may need to be repeated.
Cleaning drains method 2:
If Method 1 hasn't worked, pour a cup of washing
soda down, let it sit for an hour and then
repeat Method 1.
Cleaning drains method 3:
Pour 1/2 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1/2 cup of vinegar. Let it
fizz for a while then pour down 2 - 3 litres boiling water.
