If I use baking soda and vinegar to clean my drain with the baking soda eventually solidify again?

Question

We have a septic system and have to be really careful about what we put down the drain. Even tho the baking soda fizzles, does it still have the potential to solidify somewhere along the line?

Answer 1

We have a septic system that is very sensitive but I always use baking soda and vinegar and I've never had a problem

Answer 2

No, when it dissolves, it isn't baking soda any more, and won't reconstitute itself, as long as you've flushed the line with plenty of vinegar and water.

Answer 3

It should dissolve completely and then you'll flush the drain well, anyway, after treatment, which will carry away any extra grains.  If you want to test it, try an experiment in some other container and check it a few hours later or the next day to see if the baking soda clumps together.  If it solidifies, though, it also dissolves pretty easily and flushing the drain should still break that up.  

Answer 4

No, it will completely dissolve. I usually flush the drain with hot water a day after I pour the vinegar-soda mixture.
