In our barn/home we have a lot of old wood, trims taken from antique pieces etc The bathroom has two large antique wall mirrors; it does have new vanity though. The old wood is slightly rough and collects dust like a magnet, especially in the corners of the base molding which is close to impossible to get to and really clean. I vac, scrub with a brush but nothing really works. This morning I hit on the idea of using some furniture polish so it would be smooth and easier to dust off. It looks better but not sure if it will repel dust or attract it. I do have to add a new coat of stain on all the wood in this room. Is there a stain that incorporates a waxed finish? Or a sealer I could put on that would be smooth enough to dust off, rather than the duster & cloth catching every few inches. Seems like if the wood was smooth it would be easier to clean. I love the look but am about ready to bring in a a pressure washer :)

Why am I not thinking it's 2" pipe? You say it "used to receive the grey water from a washing machine." What is it used for now?
I found that a good pipe cleaner is the copper-colored bottle 2-part foam cleaner. I forget who makes it. I would try that first.

Subject: [DIY] How to Snake an Elbow?There seems to be a blockage in the static trap of a waste line used to receive the grey water from a washing machine.
I'm attaching a photo of the nightmare pipe configuration. If I need to upload to the group site, please let me know. I believe the only way to dismantle this thing would be to hacksaw it and rebuild it. Please note that the pipes continue upward (from the photo) for about a foot or so.
I've tried to snake it. It's a manual winder....1/4" I believe. I wound it both ways, several times. It does not move past the elbow. I've tried sticking a hose into it as well as a corrugated plastic tube and even a bendy piece of metal. I finagled a tube system in order to try and dry vac the blockage out. However, only black water was sucked out. I've also added baking soda and vinegar but have not messed with it after that.
Any idea on what I can use or purchase cheap in order to unblock this? Is there a specific type of snake or system that is designed for 90 degree elbows.. My only thought it was of those bladders that connect to a hose. Thanks.

You spray the connections. Typically you will have a line that comes out of the wall with valve. Then the flex line connects from the valve to the dryer. Spray soapy water solution on the valve connections and flex line connections. To check for leaks as leaks usually occur at connections. The gas in the line is under pressure if a connection is leaking the soapy water will bobble if the connection is not complete. I did not go back and reread your post if smell only occurs when dryer is used it may be a venting issue and not a supply issue or it may just be the new dryer burning off. If it is a supply line issue the leak will be on going and not just when the dryer is in use.
If you think you have a gas leak, I would call gas supplier and see if they charge for sending a tech out. Where I live they do not in fact they will even come do a CO check for no charge. Good PR and good for safety.

>Thanks for the input Robert. Do you spray the connection at the wall or is it all around the tubing where the gas would have settled? Some of the tubing is easily accessible, the connection would require a bit of muscle to move the dryer out.
