.................DAMIFINO..............BUT........ ......according to the "Cheapskates Guide to Happy Plumbing"...( and I am THE Cheapskate who wrote this IMAGINARY Guide ).......................Simply pour 2 ounces of DAWN Detergent down the drain FOLLOWED by about a Gallon of Hotish Water to break up the grease............THEN....pour about 12 ounces of white Vinegar ( 3 Bucks a Gallon) down the drain......THEN...... put about a half a Box of Baking Soda (75 cents a box for Arm & Hammer brand) down the drain......THEN..... ADD about 20 ounces of white vinegar again (on top of the Baking SODA )......WAIT about 2 minutes for the bubblies to stop......THEN....wash it all away with a gallon or so of hotish water.... Worked for me for many years..... NOTE....ALL measures of the products used are Scientific Wild A$$ Guesses. Accuracy is not important.
