For drains I use Durex. It's not the kindest stuff in the world, but it does rely on enzymes rather than corrosive agents to do most of its work. I've used it to great effect on slow drains, but can't tell you how effective it is on completely plugged ones. You can find it at Bryant Hardware.
I'll be up and going quite early tomorrow, but will call at a reasonable hour so that we can figure out timing.
I had forgotten, until you made me think of it, that old women often get a blue rinse for their white hair - same theory as laundry bluing, and it's why you used to see so many little old ladies with blue hair.
Be forewarned that peroxide won't have nearly as dramatic an effect as chlorine bleach at removing stains, but it's so much better than nothing at all. It's especially good on fresh stains, and almost miraculously good on blood. If you want to pretreat, rinse as much of the stain away as you can and then drip peroxide directly on the stain (or soak the stained area in a glass container of the peroxide).
Impressive story about your bleaching exploits! For years I made a point of doing laundry either in ratty clothes or in the nude for just that reason, but your talents in that area clearly outstrip (g) mine.
All bow to the bleach goddess! (Obviously your priestesses will wear white vestments.)
