How to Unblock a plughole with Soda Crystals and Vinegar
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 сер 2024
- A short video showing how you can unblock a plug hole with every day products. Here is a simple tip where I use Bicarbonate of Soda and Vinegar to clear a blocked or slow running plughole. The whole process takes less than a minute and costs you less than 50p.
No chemicals are used. It costs less than products purchased from a store and all in all that's got to be better for us all.

Thank goodness for those chemical free chemicals.
I know I love when my chemicals are chemical free!
He means not using dangerous chemicals unlike the natural and biodegradable chemicals which he used in the video. 😃
@@Summer21. no just no , despite the fact that vinger and soda crystal aren't actually natural. Chemicals themselves are made the same way, these products. if you mean these products are made with natural ingredients all products are made with natural ingredients smh
Thank you for your video. Just did this. It worked!! I had a clogged overflow drain in the bathroom sink so I poured the baking soda and then the vinegar into the overflow drain hole. When it started to foam out I sealed the top of the hole with my finger so it couldn't come up and out. It must have forced it out the other end and cleared the clog. I can now pour water down the hole and it drains right out. I love this because it is quick, easy, inexpensive and most importantly, no chemicals are involved that will harm me or the earth!
I really do applaud the video, I know my grandmother swore by vinegar and baking soda. However, chemical free is a no no term, it doesn't exist. Even in remote reaches of space there are chemicals. Humans themselves are entirely comprised of chemicals, but I know exactly what you mean when you say chemical free! Cheers!
I couldn't help but notice, as others have, that you didn't run the tap after the magical cure.
It works, and thanks for the tips. But I have news: vinegar and bicarbonate of soda are chemicals and they are corrosive. But they are cheaper, for sure.
Glad I found this, it works really well. I added a bit of balsamic to give it an extra kick!
Well I have just done this with Soda Crystals and vinegar. It worked a treat and in under a minute. Amazing. Thanks for this tip
How are Soda bicarbonate and vinegar not chemicals?
He means not using dangerous chemicals unlike the natural and biodegradable chemicals which he used in the video. 😃
I got Soda crystals & had some Bicarbonate of soda in already .... i tried hot water & the crystals without success .... after watching the video did as you show ..... wow .. worked like a treat many thanks ... just two things the vinegar made me cough lol & i put vinegar on my shopping list so i can do the kitchen sink the same :)
So why demonstrate it when someone seems to have peed in the sink?
Stop pissing in the sink!
Does the vinegar smell linger after??
Vinegar is basically 2% - 5% acetic acid - corrosive.
Bicarbonate of soda - alkali - corrosive.
And yet neither product is required to have a warning label! It's almost like there's a sensible definition of what constitutes a "corrosive", which doesn't include every single substance with a pH above or below 7. 😉
I had a clog that took a lot of work. I tried this, but I think it just pushed the clog along. Then I tried draino, no luck. Then I tried an 8 foot snake- nothing. Then I tried a fifteen foot snake, nothing and the snake never showed evidence of encountering the clog. It must have been farther down. Then I tried the drain cleaner for "slow drains" - success at last.
Gr8 help. my partly blocked sink which I could not get cleared with chemicals is through now..though i have to do it multiple times but worth at the end.
Cheers to good man! Helped us unclogged the drains!
why are you pissing in the sink
Does it work on your tiles love?
I pour down each plug hole every 2 weeks a pint of diluted household washing soda. Never had a blockage. Prevention is better than cure.
You should never mix chemicals & use caustic Soda, etc on galvanized pipes, aluminium etc.
Oneshot is good on Plastic piping very powerful
I bet plumbers wake up in cold sweats after being chased by giant plungers ;)
Your lovely bathroom is matched only by your understanding of 'chemicals'. Chemical-free bicarbonate of soda / Taste-free interior design.
Did You take a leak in the sink b-4 this vid? Why is it YELLOW???!
What happens with the baking soda and vinegar is that they create a gas which is pressurized if one plugs the drain and the spill holes after pouring it in. That pressure removed the clog that your draincleaner had already done some work on.
vinegar is a weak acid. I've tried this on a drain. It did not work. The trick with the bicarb and soda is that it creates co2 gas, and that only helps with the clog if one uses a plunger or stopper to keep the gas in the pipes, so it will push the clog along .
Can u tell me what is the difference between costing soda and carbonate soda ? If I use costing soda instead of carbonate soda to my bath tub there will be any prob ?
I bet that after you mix the baking soda and vinegar in the sink then plug the drain, it would be more effective because it forces most of the reaction to go down the drain pipes rather than both directions. Since you are blocking the reaction from coming up, it is forced to go the other way pushing harder on the clog.
k
thanks for the video, ill try this on my sink
Passionate about not using nasty chemicals.thanks. PS What's not to like?!
Really helpful advice many thanks
Plunge! Plunge!
The plunger will heal all. It feels like it is not working, but it is! I swear it.
I gave up on the plunger first time, second time it worked. Perseverance is key. Go for the plunger bold knight, it will heal all :)
"Fizz Away! How Cool is that?!" It's the British BIlly Mays.
you saved my life bro
Is that a sink or a urinal?
use blanc vinigar!
There are some dreadfully rude people aren't there. Maybe they need their mouths given the soda and vinegar treatment!
@Andrew Scott You’re right. Some people in this comment section, anywhere else on UA-cam and on the internet are rude lowlifes, who should be given the soda and vinegar treatment. 😃
It work for a week or two. Than it`s back. You need a plumber to fix the pipes. They are blocked by hear and fat. it will blocked again :)
Amazing. Thanks for this. I have used that Buster Drain unblocker and it didnt work.
Didn't do anything for my sink drain.
Notice he didn't run his facet after this experiment. It's a process that works, but hardly in the time that he leads us to believe. Depending on the scale of blockage, you may need multiple attempts or leave the two ingredients in the drain longer to work it's magic.
for hair build up clogging your drain just get a NEW toilet plunger (de clogging stick) with a tip that hangs out in the bottom (not one of those flat ones) and put it on the hole of the sink that is clogged. Next, pour water (hot or cold) into the sink (fill the sink half way). Next, use the plunger up and down as if unclogging a toilet without lifting the plunger. Maintain that suction the whole time to produce pressure within the clogged pipe. Do that until fixed. Repeat as necessary
would this work in the bath tub also?
Excellent video!
Doesn't work on plugholes blocked with hair. It removed some, made the water run down a little quicker but after two attempts, the hair is still there.
Didn't work for me. My slow draining bathroom sink is now fully BLOCKED!
I don't think it went down so quickly at the end. You should have ran the tap to show us properly.
Is that malt vinegar or red wine vinegar ?
Brilliant! Why did it get 137 dislikes though???
It would be cool if it worked mate.
Caustic Soda and boiling water job done
thats really good, thanks
Thanks
You are using sodium carbonate, Na2CO3, which is the water-soluble sodium salt of carbonic acid. It is a chemical and can be quite dangerous.
wow that is amazing.. going to try it out now
Thanks brother.its a great help.
"Morning Govnah!, I'm here about me clogged up plug hole!"
For all the Americans, Bicarbonate of Soda is Baking Soda here in the states. C:
and a plug hole would be the drain.
rangerpru That's obvious from context alone.
Thankyou
but it does create gas, and that becomes pressurized in the pipe and will push the clog out- bout it only really works if one closes the drain and overflow holes to prevent the gas from just escaping back out.
Will this work for Dandruff and Piles?
Cool thankyou xxxx
It's not a legitimate test if you're not using the same criteria...You needed to fill the sink up again and then take the plug out....A poor review.
I have to agree, I saw nothing here to prove it had actually worked. Quite the contrary, if you watch the jug water drain away it is just as slow as when he started the test. This seemed more like a propaganda styled advert than a scientific demonstration. Now try bicarbonate of soda in a cup add vinegar and you'll get the same fizz. This is because the vinegar and Bicarbonate are reacting with each other (As in CHEMICAL reaction) and not the grease in a drain.
ok this might seem like a stupid question but can i use baking soda ?
More proof environmentalists have no clue what they are talking about. Bicarbonate of soda is baking soda. When mixed with vinegar they will release that deadly carbon dioxide ha ha ha ha. Carbon dioxide gases are unblocking this environmentalists drain, ha ha ha. The soda crystal is just washing soda. If you add hydrogen peroxide to washing soda you get oxyclean. There are 3 chemicals in this video and out of the 2 used 1 is man made. The 2 commonly used chemicals that he refuses to use for drain cleaner which are naturally occurring on earth and in the universe. The first is sulfuric acid which is sulfur and water. The second is sodium hydroxide otherwise known as soda ash, lye and caustic soda. When it breaks down it doesn't release carbon, I think it releases hydrogen or oxygen. Fucking environmentalists are so stupid. Using chemicals instead of chemicals.
Agree...he misspoke. He should have said harmful chemicals.
I tried hot water, bleach, mr muscle, bicarbonate of soda, vinegar and caustic soda and two days later the sink is still filled with all these crap stinking really bad. What the hell is in there?!
Xe M Welcome to the club of mysterious clogged sinks. I have had this problem for 3 days, tried everything in the book without any luck.
Did you eventually call a plumber..I'm on my last nerve and tried everything. ..The bullshit vinegar and soda crap never works but i'm curious if you found a way?
7Earthsky Believe it or not, the good old plunger did the work!
probly same thing as in mine
@@7Earthsky find lye crystals. Thank me later
do it work for roots
Please help were can i buy Bicarbonate soda
Any grocery store....Baking Soda
ca you use white vinigar
Yes, you can. 😃
Okay, well I tried just now, baking powder and vinegar, but no joy - lots of fizzing and vapours and evil stench, but the clog is still having a great time in my drain. Guess it won't work with a whole lot of hairs all rolled up with grease and muck. Call the plumber!
Plumber will charge you a lot just to do what you can do. Use a drain snake to remove much of the hair (use plastic gloves cos it is unhygienic not to) and then use the drain cleaning agents you want
Yuri Desires
The instructions in the vid are just DEAD WRONG. What you need to do is empty out the basin or sink, then put the plug in the hole. Then pour some soda in the basin or sink, then add hot water and see to it that the soda is fully dissolved BEFORE you pull the plug out of the hole. If you do it the way this guy demonstrates, the soda will form cakes in the drain and the clog is even worse.
My plumber came round and after he had taken the various parts of the pipes apart he just fished up the caked soda from my first attempt. He then explained the right wat to do it.
Also he unplugged the pipes with some electric declogging device.
(By the way, the plumber did not cost me a penny, it's on the housing corporation I rent from.)
Mabel Amber Sink plungers are relatively cheap&very good.If sink is not completely plugged,fill sink with water&then drive plunger vigorously,the hydraulic pressure will loosen most things,often pulling the debris it back into the sink.

That is usually the first action, the plunger. However, in some cases the suction won't work, for instance when grease has narrowed the drain and hairs and ends of grass get stuck forming a thick ball in the narrowed drain. Best method is to prevent hairs and stones etc from entering the drain: so buy a filter with supersmall perforations and insert it in the plughole.
that's because the guy is full of hooey . . baking soda added to vinegar just fizzes like crazy . . the baking soda neutralizes any cleaning effect the acids in the vinegar may have had . . albeit very little and very slow working.
smoke and mirrors . . smoke and mirrors
does it work on the toilet
no good here. plunger worked though
So, Soda crystals and vinegar are not chemicals then? I get the point though, that they are naturally occurring or more traditional chemicals?
Yes, they are natural chemicals and they are biodegradable as another poster above said. 😃
Isn't bicarbonate Of sodium a chemical? As an aside, I do believe that glacial Acid might well be a bit corrosive. Hrmmm.. But good tip On saving money using naturally occuring chemicals.
It's like you've described unblocking a sink in the most metal way possible.
I JUST FUCKED A BAG OF SODA CRYSTALS DOWN A DRAIN AND POURED A SHIT TONNE OF VINEGAR DOWN (insert low scream etc.)
He sounds like the guy from the GEICO commercial.
I just want to point out that you are in fact using chemicals
He means not using dangerous chemicals as opposed to the natural and biodegradable chemicals which he is using in this video. 😃
Charlie bit me! All grown up!
Soda and vinegar are chemicals.
CAN I DO THIS IN THE SHOWER CUBICLE TRAY..?
Yes of course you can!
correct . . it was a ruse
I’m sure it’s called a chemical reaction...
Thanks grandad
there is no such thing as chemical free.
Vinegar contains acetic acid (H3CCO2H) also known as ethanoic acid which is the second and final oxidation product of ethanol (=commonly known as alcohol).
Bicarbonate soda (baking soda) is NaHCO3, the more accurate name is sodium hydrogen carbonate.
H3CCO2H + NaHCO3 -> Na(acetate) + H2O (water) + CO2 (carbon dioxide) which is the gas that is formed.
CO2 in its solid form is also known as dry ice.
Don’t miseducate people!
I used to be an adventurer just like you, until I got some chemicals on my knee :(
Yes he did mean HARMFUL CHEMICALS but he said "CHEMICALS" like they are all harmful, which is in my mind is NOT correct.
Thank you Hugh Dennis.
"And, it's all Chemical-Free"... except for the sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid... those chemicals are definitely there. :)
and the water of course.... and the vinegar
Sergio Andres Covers Vinegar == acetic acid. Of course that Dihydrogen Monoxide will KILL YOU. Be careful with that stuff. (water, lol)
Yes, well, he means dangerous chemicals, not the natural chemicals, which are biodegradable used here, as mentioned above by another poster. 😃
@@Summer21. any chemical can be dangerous. What exactly is going to “biodegrade” these chemicals?
It means 50 cents
That is not soda crystals, that is bicarbonate of soda. Soda crystals are totally different.
If bicarbonate of soda is heated in an oven to a certain temperature, the bicarbonate of soda becomes more alkaline, which soda crystals are. 😃
Approx 77 cents.
Found naturally...
put the plug in to....... way more effective
Peace
Okay. Chemical free would be a mechanical or electrical method. This is 100% use of chemicals. Ascetic acid in a 5% solution is caustic. The sodium bicarbonate is an oxidizer. Sure they neutralize and work fine. But chemical free? Seriously? I don't know... Maybe I just don't understand English?
It looks like weeee
50 pence. lol. I'm American from New York City. Translate please
Holy-Terrorist:>*=* A good stuff to save money!
Did he pee in his sink?
"Chemical free"
He means not using dangerous chemicals unlike the natural and biodegradable chemicals which he used in the video. 😃
fake you had to wait for it to go down for you port the rest of the jog in
