Clean Your Sink Naturally

So, you have a funky drain or rings around your fixtures. Are people always telling you to buy Lime Away, Ammonia, or Draino? I don't know about you, but the idea of having needless toxic chemicals around the house does not appeal to me. I don't ever want my children to come into contact with them in any form. Here's the skinny on cleaning out your drain.

*Pour half of a cup of salt in your drain. (This breaks up fats)
*Pour a half to a cup of baking soda down your drain.
To feel like you are getting to do a grown up science experiment volcano, *add a cup or two of vinegar.
Wait thirty minutes.
*Add a kettle full of boiling water to rinse the drain. 
Do this in your bathrooms and kitchen about once a month.

There is also a handy plastic tool you can buy to clean your drain. Zip-It Clean.

If you still have a clog or foul smell, unscrew the P-Trap under the sink and clean it out. It is quite simple.

You can use vinegar to clean you faucets of hard water deposits. Soak your shower head in vinegar to unclog it. There are a myriad of uses, naturally speaking.
