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.

Chemical 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 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 let's get started.

Read here about the ingredients you will be using.

 

 

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.
