Baking soda first, then vinegar, let it fizz for 15 or20 minutes then follow with at least a gallon of boiling water. Cheap and very effective without using harsh chemicals. I had a clog way down in the pipes that required professional snaking. I have been doing this recipe since and it has never come back like it did before.
