The easiest method to remove oil from a drain is to use a combination of hot water and white vinegar.
Effective Methods for Clearing Oil from Drains
Here’s how to use this method effectively:
- Prepare the Solution: Mix equal parts of boiling hot water and white vinegar. A 1:1 ratio is recommended.
- Safety First: Wear oven mitts to protect your hands and eye protection before handling the hot liquids.
- Pour Carefully: Slowly pour the hot water and vinegar mixture down the clogged drain.
- Monitor Drainage: Watch the drainage to see if the water is draining more quickly. The goal is for the mixture to dissolve the grease buildup.
This simple approach can often dissolve the grease and oil causing the blockage, returning your drain to normal function.
