QUICKIE: Unclogging a drain

Have you ever finished a shower with water up to your mid-calf? There is nothing more frustrating or disgusting than a slow drain. I hate having to watch my toothpaste chill out in the sink for ten minutes before it decided to get the hell out. I'm also writing a book called: Home Improvement as a Procrastination Technique, The Katherine D. Story.

The internet is very helpful,  all you need is 1/2 cup baking powder and 1/2 cup white vinegar. And food coloring...just kidding, that's for making volcanoes! Follow that lovely paste with a kettle of boiling water. YUM!


Step 1/2/3: Put the baking soda in the drain, mash it in with your fingers. Pour the vinegar down the drain. Close the drain. Open it up a few minutes later and pour in some HOT WATER

Rinse and repeat (in the other drain)

Sean loves to help!
Me: "Sean do you know how to unclog a drain?"
Sean: "What?"




After following these steps, the drain still didn't seem to be working any better. I decided to try to use the end of a spoon to investigate the issue.

So. Much. Fucking. Hair.
YUM!

In case you were wondering, both the drains are working much better now. I'd give this home remedy 5 stars out of 5 stars. Three stars awarded purely on the basis that it seems like putting baking soda and vinegar down the drain would make the sink blow up.
