Cheap, All Natural Shower & Bathtub Drain Cleaner

Looking for an effective, all natural, chemical free way to clean your bathtub and shower drains? With just two natural ingredients, you should be able to tackle any drain clogs or messes!

Cheap, All Natural Shower & Bathtub Drain Cleaner
This all natural, chemical free shower and bathtub drain cleaner recipe is made with only two natural ingredients:
  1. baking soda
  2. white vinegar

Instructions: Pour about a quarter to a half of a small box of baking soda down into the drain. You will slowly pour the white vinegar over the baking soda down the drain. The white vinegar will cause the baking soda to bubble, and the intention is to pack the baking soda down the drain enough so that it is forced to expand down into the drain, rather than bubble up and out of the drain.

If needed, repeat this process, then rinse the drain with hot water.

All Natural Way to Unclog A Shower or Bathtub Drain

If you have a serious clogged drain that makes the water take a long time to go down the drain, you just need to add this step:

If possible, allow the water to drain completely out of the shower or bathtub.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Very carefully bring your pot of boiling water to the shower or tub and pour slowly into the drain. Be very careful not to burn yourself with the boiling water, hot pot, or steam coming from the water as you pour! Most debris that are clogging the drain melt away instantly and the water noticeable flows faster through the drain.

Then use the baking soda and white vinegar as directed above for clean, fresh smelling drains.

The powerful boiling water even cuts through hair buildup, but sometimes requires multiple pourings.

All Natural Chemical Free All Purpose General Cleaning Spray

Going completely chemical free can be quite an achievement, and simply overwhelming to many, but cutting back on the amount of chemicals you inhale in your home will positively effect your health and mentality, and cleaning products are a great place to start.

Common all purpose general cleaners and cleaning sprays typically have so many unnecessary toxins and chemicals (which mind you, our bodies are not meant to inhale). The supposed point is the powerful cleaning action, but grandpa was right, "you just need a little elbow grease," and the most basic, cost effective, all natural, chemical free cleaning spray that you can batch up in seconds.

All Natural Chemical Free All Purpose General Cleaning Spray

You only need two ingredients to make this all natural, chemical free, all purpose general cleaning spray:

  • 1 part water
  • 1 part white vinegar

Store the cleaning spray in a spray bottle and use as needed to clean all types of surfaces and glass. This simple all purpose cleaning spray works just as well as commercial cleaners, without the toxins to your body.

White vinegar is usually diluted to about 5% acidity, so it actually disinfects. However, it is important to note that vinegar does not kill or affect salmonella, so always wash meat prepping areas with hot, soapy water to clean away all the germs!

You will likely find that after using natural cleaners for even a week or so, the smell of Windex, 409, or any of your regular cleaners will absolute offend your sense of smell. You might feel bad you have not switched to natural cleaning products sooner!

It's also surprisingly simple how for almost any mess, any situation, you need the same bottle! It's convenient and even a little space saving. Definitely cost effective, you can save tons by not buying expensive products for no reason!

Got a messy job for your cleaning spray?

If you need a little extra scrubbing action, sprinkle a little baking soda over the mess before applying the cleaning spray, then apply more elbow grease!
