    Thank you so much! I live in an apartment in Brooklyn with a landlord that cares nothing of his residents. When my toilet started to back up a little I braced myself, I can’t even talk to the guy. So I turned to my trusty pinterest community. Now, thanks to this post, my toilet flushes perfectly – I didn’t spend a dime, and I didn’t have to talk to the landlord! !!
