The Frugal Gourmet: how to use, re-use, recycle and recondition your ktchen staples...

I remembered how to clean drains in an efficient, money-saving, green way, with two things I always have in my kitchen, and no chemicals (to which I am highly allergic!).

Pour about half a box of baking soda down the drain and add about a cup of white vinegar. It will bubble up like a volcano, let it do its work for a half-hour or so, and presto, clean, green drains! If the build-up was severe, repeat one more time.

It really works! And by the way, baking soda is a very good cleaning agent for many other tasks!
