Unclogging -- on the cheap
by Geri Nikolai

Every now and then, you hear of a product you want
to try. That's how I feel about "Zip-It."
The gadget is a long, thin piece of flexible plastic
with barbs along the edge. Push it into a clogged drain,
says its manufacturer, Luoma Enterprises of Duluth,
Minn., and it comes out with whatever is plugging up
your pipe.
Zip-It is 20 inches long, made to remove clogs near
the stopper or in the trap. If you clean it afterward,
you can use it three to four times.
Here's the best part: It costs $2 and can be found
at places like Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Lowe's, Menards
and Walgreens. For more, log on to www.zipitclean.com.
If you try it, let us know.
P.S. To my plumber: You're a good man and a fair one,
but admit it, you don't enjoy cleaning drains any more
than I enjoy paying you $50.
