Non-Toxic Drain Opener
Remove the drain pop up and pour a LOT of baking soda into the drain.
Measure out 2+ cups of white vinegar into a glass vessel. Microwave the vinegar until it’s steaming hot.
Slowly pour the hot vinegar into the drain until it causes a bubbling reaction. Continue until the baking soda fails to bubble up.
Turn on the hot water full blast. Let it run for at least a minute.
Hopefully this quick and non-toxic solution will clear your drain. If not, I rely on this handy tool to pull out any trapped hair from the drain.
