Living in the mountains presents its own challenges. I want to explore these in the venture of staying green.

clogged kitchen sink

July 4th, 2011

It is always a pain to have a clogged drain.
I always figure the best recourse is to be careful what goes down the drain, but when you live with other people it usually happens that the drain clogs eventually.

Unclogging it without harsh chemicals is of course the goal.
So when my sink clogged.
First I tried a plunger.  I didn't get anywhere with that.
So I dumped some baking soda down the sink followed with vinegar.
ugh.  worse clog
So I opened up the sink drain and tried a snake.
I think I made the clog worse.
So, I did use some harsh chemicals.
Liquid Fire and the sink is working now, it still has a slow clog which i will work on with baking soda vinegar and boiling hot water.
