Use Bleach Once a Month to Keep Drains Clear
We recently paid a plumber $95 to clean a clogged bathtub drain. All our home remedy tips did not free the clog. In fact, we even had to have them get the "snake" that we had used out of the drain because it was lodged in and we couldn't get it to move. He shared a tip that will help keep drains clear. The problem we had was that hair had clogged it up. He said to pour a half gallon of Clorox in there once a month to keep it flushed. He also said never to use those liquid drain cleaners in a situation like this because they would just stop at the blocked up place and make the situation worse.

Hi Sandy, I read alot of your ideas and copy many of them so I don't forget them. Don't know how you get so smart but I enjoy reading what you have to say on several web pages. Keep up the good work. Pat in North Carolina.

I was told that clorox will mess up your septic tank. Kills the needed bacteria to keep the tank working. I can see it working great for the drains, but then if it kills the bacteria in the tank. You fix one thing and mess up another.
