I use that regularly in the washing machine which goes into the drain. The pipe can get really blocked up with limescale or gunge and soda does clean it .
Washing soda is incredibly useful for loads of things

Yes, there do4sn't seem to be a u bend as such, it seems to be just an opening halfway down the hole/drain. Seems I will just have to scoop it out!
If i plunge the drain rod up and down it does seem to clear itself for a while then slows down and blocks within about a week. Everything running through drains after this point thank goodness!

Oh come on - I know they charge a lot, but leeches?
I have used (with success) a stout bin bag, taped over my whole arm. Makes it slightly less disgusting.
No-one said you had to eat them.
