A blocked drain can be a really nasty problem to deal with in the home, so unclogging it frequently is something that's got to be done.
And if you want to avoid using harsh chemicals to tackle the job, white vinegar can work well to eliminate odours - but it's often paired with another staple, and the combination of the two won't clear your drain.
That's according to the 'Queen of Clean' Lynsey Crombie, who recently appeared on This Morning with Dermot O'Leary and Alison Hammond to talk all things cleaning and how to get the best results.
The Express reports that the cleaning whizz discussed the best way to unclog drains at home, and suggested using a drain snake unblocker to pull dirt, hair and grime out of the plughole.
These look similar to pipecleaners, and they can be inserted down the drain to remove any blockages.
Lynsey explained: "These are just epic. You think your house is clean until you stick that down the drain and even in my house, I’ve pulled some rubbish out.
"I was cleaning a house last week and OMG - the smell. But it is so satisfying!"
Then, to get rid of any lingering odours, Lynsey recommended using the common kitchen staple of bicarbonate of soda.
She explained: "Just get your bicarb, sprinkle it down the sink, put it with just boiled water - you don’t put it with vinegar.
"You will see people on TikTok and that putting it with white vinegar, don’t do that, they cancel each other out - it doesn’t work."
Instead, just sprinkle bicarb down the drain then pour boiling water on top, which works to "flush out" any remaining muck.
On the other hand, white vinegar is really handy for removing certain tough stains from clothes.
For fake tan stains, Lynsey recommends using white vinegar and washing up liquid

Although not a new concept, the idea of immortalizing a human through holograms, potentially AI-created, is becoming more relevant as it gets discussed by Hollywood stars.
