Homeowners dealing with blocked drains often end up in a panic, rushing to call expensive plumbers or buying overpriced and chemically harsh solutions from the store.These powerful concoctions can have detrimental effects on your plumbing over time and pose risks to the environment when they make their way into the watercourse.Clare, a cleaning expert from Bust The Dust, has shared her own frugal hack which serves as a "quick and affordable fix for stubborn clogs".

She's suggested that a sprinkle of salt added to the traditional vinegar and baking soda concoction makes it work "faster" and even claims it can outperform the store-shelf alternatives.

Her straightforward DIY unblocker recipe uses just three common kitchen items - baking soda, white vinegar, and salt.
