When using baking soda and vinegar as a natural drain cleaner, you should leave the mixture in the drain for 15 to 30 minutes after pouring a cup of baking soda followed by two cups of warm white vinegar. This allows the fizzing chemical reaction time to bubble and soften minor organic soap scum buildup along the pipe walls. Callout type="warning" title="Hygiene Warning": Cover the drain with a stopper during the fizzing process to push the reaction downward. Verification: Flush the pipe with hot tap water immediately afterward to wash away loosened debris.
