Tipping Tuesday
Keep your drains clean and clog-free. Once a week I pour about a cup of baking soda down all the drains in my house. Follow it with vinegar. It will bubble up like crazy (remember making volcanoes as a kid), but it's supposed to do that. It's cheap and a lot less gross than digging the hair out of your tubs drain with your hands. Sometimes I finish it off with boiling water and sometimes I don't, either way the only time my sinks or tub gets clogged up is when Bear (my 2 year old) decides to stuff them with toys, or toothbrushes, or clothes, or change, or keys, or a whole roll of toilet paper complete with cardboard roll at once. In which case, baking soda won't work.

I'm going to give it a try! Thx for the tip
You're always giving me a tip I need now. My bathroom drain is slower than usual these past few weeks. I'll certainly try this over using chemicals. Thank you!
hey! thx for visitingmy blog... I am working on getting an online store together. So keep a look out for a post to come. and thanks again :)
great tip!
you just reminded me. there's a toothbrush in my side of the sink. geez. :(
Great tip idea! Thanks for sharing. Btw-I'm visiting you from Rosemarie's blog.
Thanks it helped! I purchased a huge jug of vinegar and a sack of baking soda from Costco.
Besides that, with my husband's help and a heavy-duty screwdriver we unscrewed the drain plug to find a tiny plastic fish toy, a label, and of course lots of hair stuck. Yuck!
