DIY Draino
If I were to write a love ballad, it would be all about baking soda. It might go something like,
“White as snow/ and powdered fine/ clean anything/ to make you mine
I didn’t know/ we’d never start / ’cause vinegar/ has got your heart“
But seriously, this stuff is out of control. Baking soda and vinegar are the foundation of DIY cleaning. Don’t be fooled - it really is that simple.
And this recipe is easy enough, but I swear it works like a charm. You don’t need complex, carcinogenic compounds lurking around your cabinets! Baking soda, baby, and a liberal splash of vinegar.
That’s powdered gold, my friends, white gold from cleansing
heaven.
Drain De-Clogger Recipe:
1/2 cup baking soda
1 cup vinegar
1 gallon boiling water
Carefully siphon all the baking soda down the drain. Pour in 1/2 of the vinegar, covering the hole so the fizz is forced down, not up (omit this for toilets, please!). Add the second half of the vinegar, following the same procedure. Allow to sit for 15 minutes or so, and then flush with an entire gallon of boiling water.
I have used this method in my shower and my toilet, and it has never failed me. For particularly troublesome stoppage, you may have to administer multiple applications. For instance, I recently had to go three rounds with my janky bathtub drain. It was a mighty battle, but my baking soda came through for me!
The magic is in the fizz.
Enjoy, and happy green cleaning!

Uh, this is not good. We just lost power at the house & I am in the middle of something I need to finish.

Rain!
It is raining for the second day in a row!
Of course, yesterday's rain only lasted about 20 minutes, but it was rain. The thermometer on the porch has not gone above 80 degrees today. Considering this time yesterday it read 100 degrees, this is a good thing.
It is difficult to appreciate rain until you have been in a drought like we have. Some of the ponds and stoke tanks have been losing two feet of water per week due to evaporation. Our ponds still have water, but that may not last without some significant rainfall.
It is amazing how my perspective on rain has changed since I moved from the city out to the country.
