Unclogging Slow Drains

For slow drains, use a half-cup each of baking soda, salt and vinegar. Pour the baking soda and salt into the drain, then add the vinegar. Let the mixture bubble for several minutes and then flush with a quart or two of boiling water. Repeat this procedure monthly for fast-running drains.
