| Hair Conditioner For Clogged Pipes
|
|
For small drain clogs, I accidentally found that a few globs of hair conditioner will get the water flowing. It seems to coat whatever is down there (ugh). Running hot water over the conditioner is helpful.

| Fishing Line For Frugal Toilet Fix
|
 As a very stingy gramma, I have got "tight waddery" down to a science. While living in an apartment where the repair people didn't come running when I called, I figured out a way to fix my toilet.

| Paper Towels Clogging a Toilet
|
|
My son flushed a whole roll of paper towels and now I have a stubborn clog. Water will slowly drain after a flush, leaving a paper pulp mess behind. No solids will go down. I scooped out all the pulp from the bowl.

| Fixing A Dripping Shower

Fixing A Dripping Shower. If your shower drips long after someone's finished showering, unscrew the screw that holds the water control handle and the pin that holds the shower diverter (for hot or cold water), so you can pull the shower diverter off to clean.

With quick action, you can limit the amount of water that winds up on your floor from an overflowing toilet. First, take off the back of the toilet and push the stopper or plunger down in the bottom of the tank so it stops allow water into the bowel.

The linkage to my plunger type drain broke and the remainder of the rod fell bak down in the pipe where the lever is located. How do I retrieve it? is there a magnet that can be used?
