Fix a Clogged Drain

  Hopefully this can serve as an inexpensive way to fix a clogged drain.  Simply pour 1/2 cup baking soda down the drain. Add 1/2 cup white vinegar and cover the drain if possible.  Let set for a few minutes, Then pour a kettle of 6 or more cups of boiling water down the drain  to flush it. The combination of baking soda and vinegar breaks down fatty acids into soap and glycerin, allowing the clog to wash down the drain.

    Isn't that how you make a mock-volcano? I have images of homeschool science projects flashing before my eyes. Baking soda and white vinegar def rings a bell.
