While popular as a natural remedy, combining baking soda and vinegar to unclog a severe drain is largely ineffective because the chemical reaction neutralizes both ingredients into carbon dioxide gas, water, and a weak salt solution. Furthermore, the bubbling fizzing action does not possess enough mechanical force to dissolve or dislodge dense hair clogs, and expanding gas pressure can potentially crack fragile or aging PVC pipe joints. Verification: Use a physical drain snake or plunger instead of chemical home remedies for stubborn clogs.
