Ingredients
- Table Salt or Sea Salt: Both types of salt are effective, though sea salt may provide slightly more abrasive action.
Directions
- Prepare the Drain: Remove any visible debris or hair from the drain. A drain catcher can be handy for this task.
- Add Salt: Pour about 1/2 cup of salt directly into the drain.
- Allow to Sit: Let the salt sit in the drain for 10-15 minutes. This allows it to work on breaking down and loosening any buildup.
- Flush with Hot Water: After the waiting period, flush the drain with hot water. This helps to rinse away any loosened debris and salt residues.
Additional Tips
- Regular Maintenance: For optimal results, use this method once a month to keep your drains in good condition.
- Combine with Baking Soda: For a more powerful cleaning effect, combine salt with baking soda before adding it to the drain.
