I have a slow kitchen drain. Anyone have any tips for unclogging it? I know I've seen answers to this in the newsletters but I can't find where I filed them. - Linne Dodds

using a septic tank treatment in the drain every month will keep it cleared out. try www.monthlyseptic.com
if you have a disposer use the rubber plug that came with it to stopup the non disposer side then fill the disposer side with water. hold the plug in the non disposer side down firmly and turn the disposer on. the disposer will turn into a water pump and force the clog out

The best kitchen drain cleaner I've ever used is:
1/2 cup salt and 1/2 cup baking soda sprinkled into the drain; pour 1/2 cup vinegar over it and let sit for about 15 minutes. Pour boiling water (I usually just use hot tap water) over it for several minutes.

This flushes the drain nicely, removes grease and/or hair buildup and keeps the drain open for a long, long time. Even my husband was impressed with how effective it is! - Jennifer Raffety

Mix 1 c. salt and 1 c. baking soda, pour down drain followed by 1 c. vinegar. It will boil and bubble, cleaning out the drain. When all the bubbling stops follow up with lot of hot water. Hope this helps. - Connie:)
