Wendy, I use that combination but I do it in the opposite order. Another thing I do is use an old electrical applicance cord as a snake. I just cut off the connections and use the cord. It is flexible enough to go down easily, yet sturdy enough that it doesn't collapse. I haven't used that on anything other than a lavatory.

I've used the baking soda and vinegar but never the electrical cord. That is a great idea!
