The sink in the possible self isolation bathroom (knock on wood) clogged a couple days ago and we were out of drain cleaner. Poured juice from a too old to finish jar of pickled peppers (say that 3 times), salt and baking soda down it and it seemed to work. Good news, found Draino while organizing cabinets today. It’s these little things that are going to trip us up.

No small drain snake?

(Some newer sink drains / stoppers won’t let you get one in.)

Find tools, take drain plumbing apart.

Gotta be careful with old metal drain plumbing, though. “Draino” a few times, or even corrosion over time can eat it away from the inside. I’ve broken such easily with my bare hands.
