Plugged sink followup

| Got home last night ready to try all the good suggestions. I planned on
starting with the easiest so I reassembled the trap then I poured water in
to fill the sink so I could plunge it. It never backed up. The digging I did
with the snake must have loosened it up?
Works fine now.
As far as cleaning / maintenance, I'm sure the pipes are layered with slimy
crud.
Would just very hot water down the drain be enough?
Or best to leave well enough alone?
Thanks for the suggestions.
Steve

Steve-
I use this stuff (when I remember) it keep the cast iron waste lines
in my previous 50 years working.....didn't have to replacement before
I sold it.
Works great on hair, soap & makeup build up......occasionally (that's
what reminded me to use) had a slow drain that need a quick plunge but
following w/ the Drain Care restored flow.

| Try this: 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1/2 cup of
vinegar. Wait a minute or so and then flush with boiling hot water from your
kettle. It's safe and environmentally sound. It's a natural way to keep your
drains clog-free.
