This $10 unexpected Alka-Seltzer hack is a simple and effective way to clear slow moving drains

A blue and white kitchen with blue cabinets, a white kitchen island, and a black and white tiled backsplash behind a black stove. On the kitchen island is a loaf of bread, a tray with breakfast goods, and an open recipe book. To the right is a white fluted sink with gold faucets next to a vase of flowers, below a bright and sunny window.

Dealing with a slow-moving drain can be tricky and troublesome, but it turns out that the key to getting things flowing again could be hidden away in your bathroom cabinet already: Alka-Seltzer.

It's a gentle, relatively affordable solution to remove soap scum and small clogs, but, as plumbing experts warn, there are some drawbacks to consider, and it's certainly not suitable in every situation.
