Default Plugged sink followup

Try this: 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1/2 cup of
vinegar. Wait a minute or so and then flush with boiling hot water from your
kettle. It's safe and environmentally sound. It's a natural way to keep your
drains clog-free.

Got home last night ready to try all the good suggestions. I planned on
starting with the easiest so I reassembled the trap then I poured water in
to fill the sink so I could plunge it. It never backed up. The digging I
did
with the snake must have loosened it up?
Works fine now.
As far as cleaning / maintenance, I'm sure the pipes are layered with
slimy
crud.
Would just very hot water down the drain be enough?
Or best to leave well enough alone?


Thanks for the suggestions.
