Notes: Been meaning for over a week to make it to Clark-Devon Hardware for some drain cleaner but circumstances have conspired against me. Finally I decided a weekday morning trip would be most foolproof. I was in and out in a jiffy--which frankly is a bug rather than a feature. Next time I'll try for a Saturday morning, when the...ahem...browsing is at its most rewarding.

drain cleaner...

Honestly, the best way to clean a drain is pour about a cup of table salt in it, top off with a cup of white vinegar, wait a minute, and then chase with boiling water. Also it cleans your sink at the same time, leaving more freedom to drink tea (as long as the water is boiling, you might as well get a cup of tea out of it.) Gwyn
