The simple ingredients of baking soda and vinegar can unclog sinks. Best of all, you're fixing the problem without pouring anything toxic down the drain.

I use clarifying shampoo. If it removes dirt and condition buildup in hair safely, why not clogs? I pour 2 to 4 tablespoons,let it sit overnight. In the morning, I fill the bowl with water, take a plunger to it, and after 1 or more tries, it's unclogged. Best thing? It doesn't hurt pipes. Clarifying shampoo is meant to get out heavy buildup in hair - most of the same stuff that is building up in pipes, so it works beautifully. I do this at least once a month to keep the sink from clogging.

By accident I discovered that pouring very hot water down the kitchen sink drain unclogged it in a matter of days. Every so often I repeat this to keep it working well. I had been using a commercial product, without much real luck.
