I'm surprised that bacteria wouldn't eat hair in 6 years. Some say it's
a combination of hair and soap scum that clogs drains. Baking soda can
turn soap scum into soluble soap.

Plumbing-raleigh.com recommends equal parts baking soda and vinegar as
the first thing to try for a hair clog. Vinegar is 95% water, so the
mixture is essentially baking soda and water. I doubt the vinegar helps.




Makes no sense to me.


Vinegar is acid, baking soda a base

so they'd approximately cancel each other out.
