There is one golden rule when using soda crystals: This is not a 47-step project requiring power tools
Your pipes will thank you. Your wallet will thank you. And you won’t have to hold your breath every time you open the under-sink cabinet. This keeps grease from solidifying and prevents "fatbergs"
Keep a dedicated container of soda crystals under your kitchen sink next to the dish soap. When you notice the water starting to drain slowly, you’ll be ready to act immediately—before a slow drain becomes a no-drain emergency.
Use a cup and a bucket. Get the water level below the plughole.
This method works best for slow-draining sinks or regular maintenance. If your sink is completely blocked with standing water, you'll need to scoop as much water out as possible before you start.
