Got a drain that is clogged? Or needs that regular cleaning? Just as with most conventional cleaners, drain cleaners are no exception to the common appearance of “WARNING: Poisonous” or “WARNING: Toxic” on their labels. There is an easy way around this, though.
This recipe is 100% non-toxic and bio-degradable. It will not harm septic systems or gray water systems. And, it is easy to make! It will also cut down on odors. “The combination of baking soda and vinegar can break down fatty acids into soap and glycerin, allowing the clog to wash down the drain.” Read the rest of this article: Clogged Drains.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup Baking Soda
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/8 cup Free and Clear dish soap (optional)
Pour baking soda in drain. Then, pour the water into the drain (If you are using the dish soap, mix it with the water before pouring the water into the drain). Let it sit for 10 minutes. Run water down the drain for 10 seconds to rinse the drain. For stubborn cases, repeat procedure a second time, but leave it sit overnight. Then, rinse the drain.

In the previous post “Conserve, it’s your responsibility“, I said that I would write a series of posts that would give some tips, tricks, and how-tos on the subject of conservation. Well, here is the first one!
In most houses, as well as outside, we are using chemical petroleum-based cleaners. These are usually poisonous. But, it doesn’t have to be that way.
There is a line of cleaning products that are not petroleum-based, do not contain chemicals, and best of all, do not pollute or harm. They may cause eye irritation, but this is the same with any cleaner.
Here is a list of cleaning products that I recommend:

Nowadays, no one stops and thinks, “What are the consequences of what I am doing?”. It is just so easy to fill gas in a car and pay with a credit card. But, there are consequences for this, even though it may show up many years later. Our generation is just starting to feel the results of those before us, yet we never think what our choices will do.
It is time we start thinking about this, nay, seriously thinking about these things. What we do affects the next seven or more generations! That is how serious it is.
Because of this, I am going to write a series of posts called “Conservation Conversation”
So, keep watching!
