Got a slow kitchen or bathroom sink drain? Try this natural drain cleaner. I tried it and it really works! Remember, this is only for a drain in which you notice to be slower than normal. Like when you're brushing your teeth and then run the water and the sink starts to fill up even though the drain is open. That's when I notice our bathroom drain is slowing down. Now I'm able to prevent this from happening without the use of toxic chemicals.
I used 4 tablespoons of baking soda, 3/4 cup vinegar, and a gallon of boiling water. I followed the directions from the link below. I didn't use their recommended measurements because I didn't think the drain was slow enough to use that much ingredients. But you might want to use more if your pipes are running really slow!
Make sure to pour the vinegar "very slowly" to get a chemical reaction. I poured a little, about a tablespoon, then waited a minute. Then poured a little more, waited. I did this until all of the vinegar was gone. The drain bubbled, fizzed, and foamed. A few minutes after I poured the boiling water...the drain was running clear again!
Read all instructions before using this method. If you do this once a month you will never have a slow drain again!
