Down the Drain, or How to Unclog Just about Anything

I'm piping up with two tips for your pipes:

1. Buy something called Zip-It. (I got mine at Lowes in the plumbing aisle.) Simply push the Zip-It down your clogged drain and pull it back up. Watch the video to see how simple, and disgusting, it can be!



2. If the Zip-It doesn't do the trick, sprinkle about 1/2 cup baking soda over the drain and douse it with about 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar. Let it sizzle for 20 minutes then rinse it down with some hot water. I swear it works, though you may have to try it twice.

These options are significantly cheaper than name brand uncloggers like Drano and you won't have to worry about accidentally poisoning any household pets are small children. A win-win for everyone!
