Households Urged to Pour Bicarbonate of Soda Down the Drain in November
The heatwaves of summer are a distant memory already, with much of the UK being absolutely battered and lashed by Storm Austen and then Storm Boelo in the past week.
TL;DR
- Storms in the UK can cause damage to properties, including drain blockages.
- Fallen leaves and acorns can block drains, exacerbating issues during heavy rain.
- Household experts suggest using bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) to keep drains clear.
- A DIY method involves pouring boiling water, a mixture of vinegar and baking soda, and then hot tap water down the drain.
- This mixture is designed to foam and clear blockages within the drainage pipes.
