    If you put vinegar down the drain, after the baking soda, it should react with any undisolved soda and bubble, loosening up debris and hair. Heck, pour straight baking soda down before the vinegar. It's amazing what that can knock loose.

Probably the first As Seen on TV product that actually works. I clean plenty of hair off of it every week and thankfully it no longer gets down my drain. No issues in over a year.

      home depot sells cheap gutter guards that are a plastic with a mesh top. i installed those and havent cleaned gutters in years, or even had a clog because everything stays on top and the wind blows it off. in fall, you can attach a long tube to your leaf blower and really blow the heavy leaves off (if any), but its a remarkably simple way to keep gutters clean for good.
