If household drains become clogged with standing water, food, or other things, it not only causes a clog but also an unbearable bad smell. To help dissolve these debris and get the drain clear again, there are three natural ingredients that together perform a corrosive and swallowing action.
The first ingredient is sodium carbonate, which is cheap and easy to find, white in colour and grainy in appearance. It should be used in place of baking soda because it is more corrosive due to its high alkaline content. It acts directly as a deodorant, degreaser and sanitizer.
