An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, right? Clean your drains before they get totally clogged. I’ve noticed that my drains don’t clog much now that I have super short hair. But if you don’t want to cut your hair to save your drain (really, that isn’t a very good reason to cut your hair, is it?), clean them out periodically and you won’t get a major clog. Really, it’s easy!

Pour about ½ cup of baking soda down your drain, follow with about double that amount of vinegar, and then seal with your drain plug. Follow 15 minutes later with boiling water. Kids love to help with this household maintenance task and the ingredients are totally safe (except, need I say?, the boiling water), so engage help!
