Wish I had an answer to this one as I’d could use suggestions myself. I’ve been trying to avoid products like Drano or Liquid Plummer as they are so toxic. They say baking soda mixed with hot water, followed by vinegar, does the trick but hasn’t worked so well for me. Probably is it’s difficult to actually pour the baking soda down the drain.
A squeegee wipe down after a shower is a must for your shower walls and sides of the tub!
My biggest problem is the floor of the shower. I can keep the drain running smoothly with baking soda a very hot water, and I do squeegee the walls. If you have any good ideas for the floor, I’m all ears. One friend suggested the Magic Eraser. Not sure how toxic that might be though.
my food revolution….or evolution…would start with more water per day. I know I don’t drink enough. Tea is like a comfort good for me, but adds more sugar to my diet. The benefits of water are widely recognized….this is where I would start making a change.
