## ✅ The All-Natural Sewer Solution

This method uses ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. Here’s what to throw into your pipes:

## 🔧 Instructions:

### 1. **Start with Baking Soda**

Pour **½ cup of baking soda** directly into the drain or toilet. It will cling to the inside of the pipe and begin loosening grime and debris.

### 2. **Add White Vinegar**

Slowly pour **1 cup of white vinegar** down the drain. It will react with the baking soda, creating a fizzing, foaming action that breaks up grease, soap scum, and minor blockages.

### 3. **Let It Sit**

Allow the mixture to sit for **15–30 minutes**. For deeper blockages, you can leave it overnight.

### 4. **Flush with Boiling Water**

Carefully pour a kettle of **boiling water** down the drain. This helps flush out loosened residue and clears the way for better water flow.

> For toilets, use **hot (not boiling) water** to avoid cracking the porcelain. Let the baking soda and vinegar sit, then pour the hot water and flush.

## 🌿 Why It Works

* **Baking soda** is a mild alkali that helps break down acidic buildup inside pipes.
* **Vinegar** is acidic and reacts with baking soda to create a fizzing action that dislodges grime.
* **Boiling water** melts grease and flushes out residues.

Together, they make a **safe yet powerful natural cleaner** for your plumbing system.
