How to Unclog a Drain: Go Green

Did you know that there is a cheap green way to unclog a drain?  I find this hard to believe so I must share it with you.  Recently, I had a tough clog to unplug.  I was looking for a way to unclog it economically.  Liquid plumber is expensive and there is only on use for it.


After doing a search on how to unclog a drain,  I wacided to try a solution which suggests using baking soda and vinegar because it is cheap.  Also, baking soda and vinegar both have multiple uses.  I poured in one-half cup of baking soda followed by a cup of vinegar.  I worked like a charm.  Once, the vinegar was poured into the water  it started to foam and fizz.  Then the drain opened.


Here are some other uses for baking soda:
  • laundry detergent booster
  • natural whitener for teeth
  • deodorizer
  • oven cleaner (cuts grease without damaging the surface)


Baking soda is a miracle.  I now keep a large container of it under my sink at all times.  It cost me about $2 to unclog my drain.

Grocery Shopping List Made Easy







Do you forget to put important items on your grocery list? I do. It really makes me mad when I forget to certain items on my grocery list. To alieviate this problem, I put a sheet of paper on the refrigerator and as I run low or out of stuff, I write them on the grocery list.

I also let my family know to do to the same. This way if they use the last of something and I don't know about it, it is still on the list.

I order my groceries online. So before I order my groceries, I double check the refrigerator and cabinets to make sure I have everything.

Have you tried ordering your groceries online yet? I have and I like it. By ordering my groceries online, I don't overspend by buying impulsively (I only order what is on the list) and I don't have to wait in long lines.

So put a sheet of paper on the refrigerator so that you write your grocery list as you go and order you groceries online. Then, come back and let me know how this works for you.
