My easy fix solution is to regularly! pour vinegar and bicarbonate soda down all my drains, including the shower. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then follow with hot water- not boiling as it can crack porcelain. I think I’ve only used my plunger once. My dad was a plumber. Got plenty of tricks of the trade from him.

Do mine every 2 years in Australia. Easier than a colonoscopy ( which you go on to have, if your home test is abnormal). Apparently only 50 % of them are returned. People say it’s “yucky and messy” and don’t want to handle poo. Firstly, you wipe your own arse. It’s a no touch technique to collect the samples. Yucky is a bowel resection for bowel cancer that you could have caught early. Yucky is having a colostomy where you really have to handle your own poo. I’ve worked with bowel cancer patients. I know what I’d rather do! We even have funny tv commercials about it. It’s a small inconvenience to catch cancers early.
