We all have a few hidden little secrets on how to do something to make it easier.
My son clued me in on something the other day that works really well. He works in the Tool and Die industry and they are always getting slivers of metal in their fingers. If you have a cracked or sore finger or thumb, it's hard to heal because you're constantly using it.
The suggestion was. Get the crazy glue and squeeze the cut and cover it with the glue. I tried this a couple hours ago and it really works.
Any suggestions that you have, please share.

For a small sink clog I found using half a bottle of hydrogen peroxide left in over night and then flushed with cold water works well.

Also to clear the gunk in a sink pour baking soda in and then follow with vinegar. Will boil and cut the grime. Also, makes the drain smell very fresh.

How much do you mix each? I am always looking for safe cleaning tips that won't harm my furry four legged sons.

I don't measure. Just dump probaly no more than a quarter cup of dry baking soda and that's probably too much in the drain, Then pour probably a half cup of vinegar in slowly. It will boil and fizzle like Alka-Seltzer. Sure cleans the toothpaste and soap scum out of the drain in a hurry.
Just experiment until you think you have it right.

Right now I really need a hint because I started a project any my idea isn't working.
Plan to update my bathrooms as soon as spring arrives. Will not do it yet because I will not touch the plumbing in the winter unless abslutely have to. Bought this house 5 years ago and have always hated the vinyl and vanities. The house is a builders house and they use the cheapest things they can buy. The structure is very sound and materials were not scrimped on, but the finishing touches aren't eye candy. Updated most of the house but keep procrastinating about starting the bathrooms. Time to get it done.
Yesterday I was looking for a project and told myself that it was a good day to start the small stuff that would jump start me as soon as I felt it was safe to touch the plumbing.
I intended to start with removing the caulk bead around the sink and drywall because to rip the sink out without removing the caulk would tear up my drywall. Simple project. WRONG. Started with a single edge razor blade, but couldn't crimp my fingers tight enough to manage the razor blade when my knuckles were jammed against the drywall.
Any hints on what to cut the caulk from the drywall so it can be removed easily?
