My bathroom basin has one of those plugs that rests on a bar which is risen and lowered by a plunger at the back of the taps. When not in use I keep the plug on the shelf below the window as the cats pat the plug out, and I am worried about this damaging the basin. I am more worried about the plug being patted under something and never seen again for months (I found it on the hall floor one evening before I stopped keeping it in the basin).
Last week I dropped the soap down the plug hole and, when the water softened it, it must have squidged and it was making the water back up.
My mother told me to pour a kettle full of boiling water down the plug hole to melt the soap and flush it away. It worked a treat.
I am asking my mother to start writing down all the tips she has, adding any family stories that can be associated with them.
