    After hours of laying under my sink I went from crying on the floor about how I wish my dad was alive still to help me out to a working drain again in the time it took you to remind me to cover the overflow hole before plunging things through. Thank you for being so clear and to the point and thorough!

    Hand plunger technique worked INSTANTLY after drain unblocker overnight didn't do the job on its own. Thanks a million.

    mate, saved me a call to a plumber, hugely appreciated!
    tried the boiling water, soda+vinegar tricks with no success - unscrewed the cap and hooked the hair/gunk out, and it's as good as new

    For something close like the gunk at the top of the drain, I unfold a metal paper clip and leave a little hook at the end. I didn't know to unscrew the cap though, makes life much easier!

    They sell those long plastic things with barbs at the dollar tree here in the USA for $1.25 and they’ve always helped for me. Mostly its hair covered with gunk and this thing will pull that all out. Super cheap and very effective. I still need to gag a little though 😁

    Does draino actually dissolve built up hair? I don’t tend to have issues with my vanity but I lose a lot of hair in the shower so whenever it runs slow I draino it. It definitely helps, but I’m not certain if it fully clears it.
