HOUSTON -- It never fails, at least once every 3 months or so my bathroom sink is clogged! I don't know what I'm doing wrong! I have double sinks and my husband's is never clogged! I've gone through so much draino!

Earlier this week it actually started holding water, but I was out of drain cleaner! I had always heard you could unclog drains with just two ingredients from your pantry - so I decided to give it a try!

You'll need:

1/2 cup Baking Soda

1/2 cup Vinegar

Boiling Water

Directions:

Put the baking soda in the problem sink followed by the vinegar. You'll notice it starts to bubble.Once it's down the drain, close the drain so that it can

break down all the gunk. Now, go to the kitchen and bring a pot of water to a boil. Pour the boiling water down the drain and close the drain again. Test it out, is it draining? If not, repeat the process again. My sink was open, but not completely so I had to do it twice. Now, it's draining and it didn't cost me anything since I had all the ingredients at home!
