Eco-cleaning for lazy people: Keeping Plugholes fresh

Our bath plug hole gets blocked and drains very slowly - so that you're wading ankle deep in water in the shower.  No need to turn to the caustic soda though.  

• Wait for the water to drain and then sprinkle a generous helping of bicarbonate of soda into the plughole.  
• Have a wet cloth at the ready and pour a cup full of white vinegar into the plughole before quickly covering the it with the cloth.  
  

The bicarb & vinegar fizz and the cloth keeps it in the drain, pushing down the pipe instead of back up into the bath.

To keep the plughole fresh and prevent further build up pour a kettle full of boiling water down it once a week.
