Always used vinegar for sunburns.<br /><br />If you have a drain that is moving slow, put a couple table spoons of baking soda down it, and then add vinegar. It helps for a while. Do it on both sides.<br /><br />And I started when I would put it down one drain, I would take a wet dishrag and stuff in the other side drain, till the action could not come up that instead of going down!<br /><br />The last time I did it, I thought I had a mess for sure...I put it down the more direct side first. It all went down quickly.<br /><br />I did the other side, and it did not go down. I added water, still did not go down. But I had one of the little hand plungers that is for the kitchen sink...I grabbed it, and used it and it all went down and I have not had any problem with a slow drain since then.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08015780995837712115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-42950437174998227242020-05-22T07:32:01.803-04:002020-05-22T07:32:01.803-04:00They really help clean and foliate!
