Hint 1: I'm sure you'll agree when I say when the sink or tub gets clogged it can be real hassle, right? But pouring chemicals like Drano in them isn't the greatest solution since it pollutes the water waves, and can cause chemical burns.
Baking Soda and Boiling Water: Pour 1/2 cup of baking soda
into the problem drain, followed by 2 cups of boiling water. If that isn't doing it for you, chase the baking soda with a 1/2 cup of vinegar and cover tightly, allowing the vigorous fizzing of the chemical reaction to break up the gunk. Then
flush that with one gallon of boiling water.

Hint 2: Instead of those harsh-smelling sprays, try this
highly effective, simple solution for windows and mirrors:
White Vinegar, Water and Newspaper: Mix 2 tablespoons of
white vinegar with a gallon of water, and dispense into a
used spray bottle. Squirt on, then scrub with newspaper, not paper towels, which cause streaking (and wasteful). If you're out of vinegar or don't like its smell, you can substitute undiluted lemon juice or club soda.
