so gross... sorry you guys...
a few months ago I was doing my neti pot at the kitchen sink for a while and of course blowing my nose but also you have to spit a lot and I was stupidly just spitting and rinsing down the kitchen sink. I don't have a garbage disposal, but even if I had, i shouldn't have been doing what I did...
The drain start being noisey... i would run water and then hear... glug, glug, glug.
i tried natural stuff... hot water after baking soda, i think i tried vinegar, I tried enzyme cleaners (ZEP commercial drain care) and then some Draino Gel.
The thing is, the problem is not in the little U pipe, or J pipe, or whatever it's called (at least not anymore) that's right under the sink. When i run the water hard for 10 seconds, I stop the faucet and count 6 more seconds and THEN I hear the gurgle.
What can I use to clear this? This is a rental apartment and I can't afford a plumber... I feel like the next step is gonna have to be me taking the pipe out from under the sink (never done that before but I'm sure I can figure it out) and sticking something back in the pipe into the wall... like a wide bottle brush or something? ugh...
Does that sound right? Does anyone have another way, like another less gross easier way? I have learned my lesson... no more phlegm-globbers down the drain... Yuck
