I just used baking soda and vinegar and it did fine, but maybe the salt adds the extra kick for really hard clogs. 10/1/2006 2:11:12 PM gerald at abcfence &furniture said: that will be a bigg help i try it right now 10/1/2006 9:26:03 PM Kay Pawliczak said: I knew you could use baking soda with vinigar for washing a load of cloths but this is a new one. 10/3/2006 4:27:26 PM Carol said: I haven't tried this yet, But I will, I also Forwarded it to Friends, & Families. bigmom815 3/15/2007 5:20:12 PM BrieanneK said: Holy crap this worked! Nothing ever works like it's supposed to! I made the mix and used a turkey baster to force it down my bathtub drain. (I did this because it was a standing water clog) Then I used it to add the vinegar and poured the boiling water from my tea kettle. After about 10 minutes I used the plunger to break everything up because it was still not moving. Then all of a sudden it worked and all of the water dissappeared. I rinsed with hot water and it's BETTER than new. Thanks so much!! 3/15/2007 5:20:37 PM BrieanneK said: Holy crap this worked! Nothing ever works like it's supposed to!
