Homemade Drain Cleaner

I stumbled upon a safe and effective way to clean out a clogged drain, using products you have right in your kitchen. My bathroom sink was clogged this week, the day of our yucky snow/rain storm, and I didn't want to go out for Drain-o. Not to mention, I don't want to inhale those toxic fumes, pregnant or not. So, I mixed 1 part baking soda, 1 part salt, and a 1/4 part cream of tartar. Pour that mixture down the drain first, followed by a kettle-full of boiling hot water. It took about 3-5 minutes for my drain and then it completely cleared out. And it's still working great. I'll never go back to those toxic cleaners!
