[BlindTlk] Drano and Independence

[Pamela Dominguez]

My mother tried to get me to wear rubber gloves when I was first washing 
dishes.  I wouldn't do it.  I couldn't seem to get her to understand that 
there would be no way I could feel whether the dish was dirty or clean.  She 
was more concerned about my getting dishpan hands.  She finally gave up on 
it.  Pam.

Hi,

As good as gloves are, they do diminish what you can feel.  I don't trust my 
gloved hands.  But yes, they would protect the skin.

Wear kitchen glove—the ones that are used for washing dishes. These.will 
protect your hands. Its caustic stuff and i have sensitive sjin so i do 
that. You can use a large plastic funnel if you’re worried about spilling. 
Nut…

First off ask youself what’s the reason for Drano. Most times you can fix 
the trouble with something less caustic. Baking soda and vinager followed by 
hot water for example. Second keep in mind Draino can’t be used in some 
places like bathtubs and toilets.  There is specially formulated stuff for 
hair clogged drains. The company called Whink makes some great stuff.  It is 
calledW-H-I-N-K . Pay attention there to the spelling. Most places like Home 
Depot, ACE Hardware all have it. I buy it at Menards here in WI. Third 
remember you can hear most od what’s going on. Pay attention. Fourth, before 
using a product get and follow directions to the Y and don’t expect it to 
fix the problem first pir so plan accordingly. Possible independently ways 
to obtain info: wensite search for product, AIRA, Seeing AI just to name a 
few.

Hope this is helpful. There’ll be more good advice coming I’m sure. Yes, all 
home care and repair is possible for a total!!!!
