Salt is a basic spice in every kitchen, but it's not just for food. Namely, it can easily solve the problem you have with drains and pipes.

Clogged pipes can cause problems such as a sink that won't drain, unable to shower for long periods of time, hot showers, or having the water turned off while you wait for a repair. Here's how salt can help.

If clogging is a frequent problem with your pipes, you can perform this step periodically to help them function better. Works on drains in sinks, basins, showers and bathtubs. All you need is half a cup of baking powder, salt and vinegar and three liters of hot water.

Just before going to bed, so that the solution can sit for a while and have more time to do what it needs to do, do the following: Pour salt and baking powder down the drain. Then add the vinegar and let the mixture foam for about a minute. Afterwards, rinse with at least three liters of hot water. The salt will help break down the grease so it can be washed down the drain with vinegar and warm water, it says Metro.
