I always use hot, hot water after brushing. When I need to get rid of the baking soda from the refrigerator I dump it down the drain and add vinegar and hot water let it sit. Old cast iron and metal pipe narrow out with goop over time, plastic does also. Another is toothpaste with colored speckles, thats plastic, and hair gels .
