Is cola good for unclogging a sink? What about vinegar & baking soda?

Help

3 days ago I cleared the shower with some baking soda in the drain first, then a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. Had some boiling water to follow through about 30 seconds after the mix went down the drain. Mind you, i also pulled out some hair with a wire hanger before doing this.

You know? without getting too technical, if you open the cupboard below the sink, there is normally a u shaped plastic thingy that contains all the crap. It can be easily removed emptied and replaced in much less time than it will take you to find the coke and vineger and make some hubble bubble toil and trouble like mixture that may not work. :0)

Usually the acid strength you'd need to unclog a sink isn't available in things like cola and vinegar etc. You need something stronger which still may not work anyway so i'd go for removing the U-bend and just flushing it out.
It should work. Pour in the baking soda first, then the vinegar and let it sit for a bit.

I think salt, vinegar, and baking soda work

Cola is acidic and can break down some "sludge" that has built up plugging it

@HannibalAteMeOut actual drain cleaner would be better. Idk how long a 2 liter of coke would take to clear a clog, but worth a try if you have the time to let it sit and work it's magic
