Aloha Lee,
Had one more thought. I don't know if you have
one, but there are devices called grabbers that
are great for removing hair and other solid junk
from a drain if it isn't down past the elbow. It
looks like a long flexible spring
I think they're called mechanic's fingers because they can be used to
retrieve small items that fall into a radiator, or some other hard-to-reach
place.

thanks Bob, I'll have the family look for this stuff. I am holding
back on using something when we were landlords. It was yello
something . smelled like rotten eggs but it would blow anything out
It is also good for turning brunettes into blonds.

Chlorine bleach turns brunettes into balds. Peroxide is what you use to become
a blond. *Smile*

Chlorine isn't the only bleaching agent. For some people, the sun can
bleach out their hair. peroxide is normally what someone would use to
bleach the color out of their hair without dissolving their hair and
burning the hell out of their scalp.
So, a bleach blonde just means someone who has
will get hair back with the snake, as it
gets caught on the end of the snake.
I hope this helps.

It is my experience that you want to be careful when using chemicals to
clean drains. Many of today's chemicals are quite toxic and can actually
damage your plumbing. It is best to attempt clearing a drain by using a
plunger or plumbing snake

part of the day to get a screw plugh from the bathlub line undone

few more notch's. just a screw

Yes, make sure you remove the paper filters first. I also use a wet rag to
block up the overflow.

For the kitchen sink, have you tried baking soda,
vinegar and boiling water? If it's grease, it may
take a couple of treatments, but you might be surprised.
