If your home doesn't have a garbage disposal, you're probably wondering how to clean your drain without one. While it's not as easy as it is with a disposal, it's still possible to get your drain clean and keep it flowing freely. Here are some tips on how to do just that:
1. Use boiling water. Boiling water is a great way to loosen up any grease or grime that may be clogging up your drain. Simply bring a pot of water to a boil and pour it down the drain. Let it sit for a few minutes before running hot water down the drain to flush everything out.
2. Baking soda and vinegar. This classic combination is great for cleaning all sorts of things, including drains! Just mix together 1/2 cup baking soda with 1/2 cup vinegar and pour it down the drain. After about 15 minutes, run hot water down the drain to flush everything out.
3. Salt and lemon juice. Another option for cleaning your drain is mixing together 1/4 cup salt with 1/4 cup lemon juice (or white vinegar). Pour this mixture down the drain and let it sit for 15-20 minutes before flushing with hot water
