Zip It

If your tub and sink

are slow to drain.



And you have spent at

least $20.00 dollars in the

last month on Liquid plumber.

And you don't want to hire a

a real plumber.


Mosey on over to the local

Home Depot store and wander

around looking clueless until

a man wearing an orange apron ask

you if you need any help.

Tell him your situation in the

pitifullest sounding, sweet voice

and maybe just maybe he will

introduce you to this wonderful

little thing he called a...



ZIP~IT





Fall in love with it at first

sight and run! don't walk to the
nearest cashier and plop down

your $1.98 and skip on out to
the car/truck before they

go up on the price. Take your
new found friend right on

home to meet the family.



Pull out your personal little

pink tool box and grab your

Phillips head screw driver and

take the drain cover off.

Or if your tub is like mine you

might need a Flat head.

What ever it takes just get

that little sucker off of there.

Now put your pointy finger in

the hole at the top of your new

best friend and stick that thing

right down the drain and turn it

all about and do the hokey pokey

and pull that thing back out!


And Try not to throw up!


Get a wet rag and wipe it off

and repeat until nothing comes

back up. With your little plastic

gloves on, rinse it clean and go find

another drain that needs some

Zip~It lovin and get her done!

Besides the fact that this is so

cheap and fast! What a wonderful

'Green' planet protecting product!

Now if your house is brand new

and not 29 years old, like mine

is, spend your $1.98 on an

ice cream and sit out side in

the sun and enjoy every bite!

But remember this helpful little tip next

time your drains are draining rather slowly.

I'm done, Good Day!

I am going to go out and buy one today! Instead of having to call the apartment office next time the tub drains slow, I can just fix it myself!!! YAY!!!!!! Thanks!

Anonymous said...

you are so funny! i'll have to try that thang!

g said...

I like that, but I won't buy one. Only because Jim has this nifty little tool in his Box that he uses on airplanes. I'm not aloud to touch his tools. He cleans the drain for me. If he finds out about the ZIP I'll end up fighting the nasty little drain monsters. Very cute post!
