Instructions:

Prepare the Mixture:
In a clean container, combine equal parts of baking soda and table salt. Add 1/4 part of cream of tartar and stir well to mix all ingredients together. -
Store for Later Use:
Keep the dry mixture in a clean, tightly sealed jar or container. Ensure it is stored in a cool, dry place, ready for when you need it. -
Using the Cleaner:
When you’re ready to clean your drain, measure out 1/4 cup of the mixture and pour it directly into the drain. -
Activate with Boiling Water:
Immediately follow with 1 cup of boiling water. The hot water will activate the cleaning agents in the mixture, helping to break down any blockages. -
Let it Work:
Allow the solution to sit for about 10 seconds to work its magic. -
Rinse:
Flush the drain with cold water for at least 20 seconds to ensure everything is washed away and your drain is clear.

- This cleaner is great for regular maintenance, but if your drain is severely clogged, you may need to repeat the process.
- Always be sure to flush with cold water to clear any remaining residue.
- This mixture can also be used on your sink, bathtub, and shower drains to prevent buildup over time.
