Clean Drains With Baking Soda And Vinegar

About once a month I clean my "drains", dishwasher, and clothes washer. In the bathroom drains I put 2 Tbsp. of baking soda, followed by a cup of white vinegar. Let foam for about 5 minutes, then pour in 2 cups of boiling water. Let set for another 5 minutes, then run faucet for another 2 or 3 minutes.

Do this also for the shower drain. In the kitchen put 1/4 cup baking soda in the garbage disposal side, followed by a cup of vinegar. Use a disposer brush if you have one. Run disposer for a few minutes, flushing it with cold water. For dishwasher, I put baking soda in both dispensers, pour a cup of vinegar in the tub and run a complete cycle. For the clothes washer, I fill the bleach dispenser as directed, put vinegar in the liquid softener dispenser, put about 1/2 cup baking soda in tub and run a full cycle. Notice, no chemical cleaners.
