How can I unclog plastic wrap from my bath tub plumbing?

I accidentally had a piece of plastic wrap go down my bath tub drain. Now it’s stuck somewhere in the pipe and it has clogged the drain. I’ve tried 3 different plumbing augers (sewer snakes), and a plunger. The plumbing augers caused the blockage to be forced down deeper into the pipes.and the plunger didn’t seem to accomplish anything.

After wards I tried pouring boiling hot water into the drain with hopes it would some how melt the thin plastic wrap into a smaller piece. That didn’t work either. At this point, I’m willing to try anything that doesn’t end up with me calling a plumber. The plumbing system in my home was likely installed before the 1930′s and uses old lead pipes.

Where can I find a resonably priced vanity table?

I don’t like leaning over the bathroom counter to get a closer look and since the counter is always cluttered with my stuff. I want to move everything that does not need to be by the sink to the vanity. Our bathroom has an area separated from the toilet and bath tub with just the counter and sink with plenty of room for it a vanity table. I would also feel better putting in my earrings away from the sink drain.

What are some good places to find a nice one?

How do you get rid of tiny beetles in the kitchen/bath?

I have a new house that is a little over 1 year old. I have noticed some small bugs in the bath tub and in my kitchen cabinets. After doing some research on the internet, I have identified them as some kind of beetle. They are tiny and annoying. I hate bugs and want to get rid of them somehow. Any suggestions besides calling pest control?

Looking for ballpark cost to have installed a basic bathroom in home including plumbing installed + full bath?

The home is a modular, the closet was supposed to be a bathroom, but the previous owner did not install a bathroom, and it is simply a huge closet. We need to have all the plumbing done, plus a full bath tub, sink, vanity, toilet, and floor. We are looking for the cheapest and most basic materials for the tub, vanity, etc. The house is in PA. Anyone have any ideas?

What causes a black film on plastic and white objects in a house, even inside cabinets?

I just recently moved into an apartment. All of the things that are white and plastic have this on them, including inside cabinets, and in the bath tub. It doesn’t wipe away with a cloth or water, I’ve been using disinfectant wipes. If anyone can help me at all I’d really appreciate it. No one has been feeling sick or anything like that so I’m just wondering what this is.

Resurfaced bath tub and vanity question?

I had my bath tub and vanity (counter/sink as one) resurfaced as the original surfaces were completely unusable due to cracking/pitting, etc.

The only problem I am having is that this surface is not very "slick" like normal sinks and bath tubs are and there is ALWAYS residual hairs, etc left in the sink/tub.

Anything I can do to remedy this?
