How to unclog your shower drain...or any for that matter

[WiseOwl]

Sick of buying that $5+ bottle of draino?


Take a 1/4 to 1/2 a cup of Baking soda and a 1/2 a cup of vinegar.
Pour the baking soda in the drain, immediately pour the vinegar in!

And KABOOM!

Fizzy drain unclogger.


Gotta love using stock from the preps to make life better
:cool:

Not only that, the plumbers LOVE customers who use the baking soda unclogger. It is safer when they have to work on clogged drains also. The one time I had to call the Roto-Roter guy he specifically recommended the baking soda/vinegar and said the commercial stuff was a rip-off.

coat hanger with a hook on the end always works for me at work..then again..its always la-qwanda's hair weave im pulling out....

I use a Zip-It. http://zipitclean.com/ I have long, almost to my waist, curly hair and LOTS of it. I would be a plumber's dream woman - if I wasn't a DIYer, lol. Anyway, for hair in the drain, nothing works better and it is cheap. Less than $3 at WalMart or Home Depot.

I can now attest that vinegar plus baking soda does not work if the primary component of the clog is crayons.
Had to backwash them out with the garden hose.

Your wife needs to get you a lap desk if you are going to insist on coloring while you are on the john!;-)

Okay Protus, Barfife- you guys have finally made me do it. I have to stop eating and/or drinking while reading posts. Just in this thread alone, I have sprayed water all over my laptop AND ended up snarfing a RAISIN out of my nose! NOT COMFORTABLE!!! Not to mention, a waste of a perfectly good raisin!

But really funny.......... :^)

[qrprat77]

Why did you waste the raisin?

This whole conversation went down the drain :)

Be carefull using baking soda and vinegar!!!!!!! I just had to have alot of my plumbing replaced because the vinegar baking soda mixture used over time ate the glue connecting the pipe joints.

I'm going to look for the Zip It next time I go to Wal-mart. I have long hair too.

I bought a 50 foot snake drain at my local hardware store it reels up and works just fine everytime.
looks similar to this.
