Drain Cleaner & Bleach

[Guest guest]

One of the best drain cleaners is baking soda & vinegar...after you let your

volcano settle (I try at least 30 minutes run it with clear water so it gets

through all the drains.

Also there is a site www.flylady.net and she has a book Shine My Sink...if you

ever hear me mention I have to do timers today..it is when I actually use a

timer and do 15 min cleaning and 15-30 min rest (sorry MS doesn;t like too much

of doing stuff). Anyway you soak your sink with bleach and water to start off

your cleaning habits. Her basic premise is take 15 minutes and divide your

house into zones.. when I do it well I can actually get some cleaning done AND I

HATE CLEANING (I used to say I was allergic to it as I would start and either

wind up in the hospital or have an injury,,,and husband would have to

finish..LOL).

and then rinsed, but it still smelled like chlorine for quite a while, but I

thought it was better than the smell of the sewer gas.  Then some days we have

no problem at all.  Don't know if it is some kind of weather inversion or

what.   Neighbors have had a problem with it too.  We are in a park with

private lines  and it was just a few homes with the problem.

it.  I did find a nice container with little balls of gel in it and that is

taking out any odors but it hasn't been bad there.  I did buy an air purifier

and got odor prefilder with charcoal.  Does help with dust but didn't do much

if the sewer gas picks up.  People are beginning to leave the park for the

summer so it may get better with less use in lines.
