Comment on If you had a drain that you knew was clogged only with hair, could you unclog the drain only using Nair?

  Look at you cleaning your drains, I just burned down my house and bought a new one - hair free

  But that’s expensive, and I’m lazy. So what’s the next best way

    Depends on how far it is. I got a relatively nice 20something dollar drain snake at home depot that was like 15 ft long. Took me like 5 minutes and getting a bit wet cause it was the bath. But yea I get the laziness.

    its like $5-30 DIY. Or $100+ if you hire someone to clean it.

    I use a plunger on the sink and shower drains (an actual sink plunger that’s separate from the toilet plunger) to get the water flowing and then I just clean out the hair caught around the drain opening. The only trick to this is to block off the vent/overflow pipes as leaving them open makes it so the plunger doesn’t work.

  I’ve never had to go beyond solid lye
