I tried white vinegar/baking soda in my stopped-up kitchen sink, but it didn’t work, so had to call a plumber
who roto-rooted it. He said to keep it clear, once a week pour a cup of bleach into the drain & let sit overnight. I’ve been doing that & so far it’s working, but thinking back, it

A great way to wash the outside of your windows is to mix dish soap with dishwashing rinse aid and some hot water in a bucket. I use a car mop to stick in the bucket and wash the windows then rinse with a hose and you are pretty much done. The windows dry with that “sheating action” like your dishes do. If you have a really tall house, then the power wash you can put on your hose works good too
