A couple of household items .
Water not draining? pour 1 cup washing soda
(sodium carbonate) in water as close to drain as
possible should go down in a minute or so.
Dont have washing soda? use 1 cup baking soda
followed by 3 cups of boiling water!
Variation on these (if more potency is
needed) follow up with a cup of vinegarbubble,
bubble, toil and trouble. But it works!
