A retired plumber thus gives a point for the gratuitous relief of
householders: “Just before retiring at night pour into the clogged pipe
enough liquid soda lye to fill the ‘trap’ or bent part of the pipe. Be
sure that no water runs in it until the next morning. During the night
the lye will convert all the offal into soft soap, and the first current
of water in the morning will wash it away and clear the pipe clean as
new.”
