To freshen drains (not unclog them) and help keep them free-flowing, mix 1/2 cup baking soda with 1/4 cup table salt. Pour the mixture down the drain, followed by 1 cup heated vinegar. It will foam and bubble. Let it stand for 15 minutes — longer does not work any better. Follow by running hot tap water for at least 15 to 30 seconds. This is especially good for seldom-used drains, like in a guest bathroom.

Thanks for the comment on my blog. That was nice of you. And it is nice to meet another purple addict! I saw you are from Waddell, I live in Peoria, so we are rather close. The only people I can think of right now who I know in Waddell are Beals--Janice and Lomand. Do you know them?
