    Use soda crystals 2 tablespoons in a hot wash with nothing in it

    Are soda crystals any good for a slow-draining kitchen sink? & the water from washing machine back-tracks up into sink for a bit. & could I mix the soda crytals with Star Drops down the drains or will I blow my kitchen up folks? Ta much x.

    Well... I will be interested to see what others say. I would be tempted to run a couple of old towels through on hot with some bleach.

    try running it on a rinse cycle with some white vinegar or a solution of borax.

    Hi adea,

    There's an earlier thread with more ideas that may help so I've added your thread to it to keep all the suggestions together.
