I love the Daily Green - There are some great tips for Green Cleaning that are super cheap and you might even have the ingredients in your pantry, fridge or laundry room. I most recently had a clogged sink.. this sink seems to clog a few times a year (Hmmmm... I wish I had a disposal on my master bathroom sink, lol)
A stopped up sink or tub is a real hassle, but pouring toxic chemicals like Drano on them isn't so wise. Not only will that pollute our waterways, but the products can cause chemical burns and are highly dangerous if ingested. Do you really want that in your home?
Baking Soda and Boiling Water: Pour 1/2 cup of baking soda into the problem drain, followed by 2 cups of boiling water. If that isn't doing it for you, chase the baking soda with a 1/2 cup of vinegar and cover tightly, allowing the vigorous fizzing of the chemical reaction to break up the gunk. Then flush that with one gallon of boiling water.

Just another neat tip --- I hate buying refills for my swiffer and actually I purchased a reusable mop-type-thing that had 2 pads that can be washed - well unfortunately by the time it get through the mudroom and part of the eat in kitchen in my house - that reusable pad is Disgusting! I only have two -I will use one in the Bathroom and then I'm out --- So I found this neat little link on how to make your own reusable pads ( I'll be swinging by the store later today and getting me reusable diapers.. like asap.)
