Unless all of your plumbing is plastic don't use salt, it will eat your pipes.

The best thing for grease is detergent. Every time you are washing up you are 
going to emulsify some of that grease into suspension and help carry it away.

Heat, as in hot water will also melt grease although it will reconsolidate 
further along as it cools. Most petroleum based solvents will also thin or 
dilute even animal fats but they are usually quite flammable so not usually a 
good thing to tip down a drain.. All this assumes you are on municipal sewers. 
Be a little careful about how much of anything you pour down a septic system.

  Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Home remedies-sewer traps




  Long ago we had a discussion on her as to what works good in home sewer 
  traps, like the ones under the kitchen sink and that main trap before 
  things leafve the house. I have a feeling that someone here has not 
  wiped a greasy pan out like after having cooked sausage or a burger. It 
  was my turn to do the dish's today and I am positive I felt grease on 
  the little dohangis that stops up the water. so besides buying liquid 
  plumber what might be good for possible grease in a trap. is it baking 
  soda, rock salt? any and all answers, suggestions would be appreciated. 
  thanks.lee
