Clean/Unclog sink drains with Vinegar & Baking soda

I have issues with my bathroom sink always clogging (Most likely due to my husbands little whiskers when he shaves.)

This is what I use.

3/4 cup Baking Soda
1/2 cup White distilled Vinegar
2-3 quarts boiling tap water

I will pour 3/4 cup Baking Soda directly into the drain. Then pour 1/2 cup white distilled vinegar down the drain and quickly cover the drain with a drain blocker as the combination of the two will cause a volcanic type eruption. You want to keep that volcanic eruption in the drain so block it with a rag or sink drain cover. Allow the ingredients to agitate in the drain for a half hour. In the meantime, boil a pot of water (About three quarts) Once a half hour is up, remove the drain cover and slowly pour the boiling water into the drain.

This recipe also works great to clean greasy kitchen drains. I usually do the vinegar/baking soda recipe in each drain once a month.
