Today’s advice may seem very simplistic, but it is extremely effective. As an added bonus, you won’t need chemicals or expensive tools to unclog your clogged drain. In fact, the first step is to make a small DIY recovery tool: take a regular metal wire, bend one end to make a small hook. And that’s it, now, with patience and dexterity, you will insert it into the drain by turning it gently. Gradually, the hair will begin to tangle around the hook and you will be able to pull it out as you go. But be prepared to collect a mass of hair, so don’t be too surprised! Sure, the operation may seem quite laborious and even disgusting, but the more hair you remove, the more satisfaction you will have from seeing the water flow freely.

This prevention will be very life-saving to prevent a more serious and complex blockage that will likely require the help of a specialist. A tip: be very careful during this operation, because the wire could scratch delicate surfaces or even get stuck inside. So be very gentle and avoid going too deep into the drain. In any case, with this ingenious trick, you will be able to get rid of this common problem that is poisoning your life. And without even using chemicals for drainage, enough to preserve the environment.
How to prevent hair from passing through the siphon?
Ah, that’s a good question! To avoid clogging the drain, there are, of course, some prevention measures that are very easy to apply. Here are some:
- Install a drain cover: Get a drain screen from any hardware or home improvement store. Place them in showers and bathtubs around the house. Better yet, try purchasing drain screens specifically designed to trap hair.
- Prevent hair from slipping in the sink and shower: Before you even take a shower or bath, get into the habit of brushing your hair to prevent some hair from falling out when you brush your hair. And if you send some out to lurk, remove them manually before they get anywhere near the drain.
- Flush the drains at the same time: This requires mutual support and family coordination. In concrete terms, you must close all the drains in the house. Fill each tub or sink with warm water and have someone stand next to it. There must be synchronization: at the same time it is necessary to open the drains and flush the toilet for simultaneous flushing.
