I put windshield washer fluid in the drains.. better late than never.

Windshield washer fluid is disastrous on waste water systems. Like using bleach, it kills the beneficial bacteria that break down the wastes. Please do not use anything with alcohol, ethanol, methanol as a freeze point depressant in waste systems.
Plumbing A/F is glycol based, safe for waste systems, piping. Including ours! Its what you drink a gallon of for your (yuck) colonoscopy!
