blocked bath plug - what can i use?

[ThatVikRinA22]

ive already put down Mr Muscle and its not worked.

DD has really long hair and i suspect there may be a hair ball somewhere down the pipes, but it would be a bugger to get to.

the water is draining but really slowly. what can i use to really zap it?

[Ivykaty44]

use Mr muscle again - then get one of these

maybe leave overnight before putting the hot water down.

I have doen mine today - i don't let it get to the stage I need two and use one every six months and use a strainer

I have long hair and find it disgusting yet strangely fun to pluck the hair out with some long tweezers.

(Yes, I know, I need to get out more)

[ThatVikRinA22]

so another bash with mr muscle then. is there anything more powerful than that if it doesnt work?

[ThatVikRinA22]

oh and that sieve thingy is a good idea....ill get one of those if i can ever get the stupid thing unblocked!

caustic soda

[meep]

you can get some pretty toxic stuff from b&Q like this

[ThatVikRinA22]

wonder where i can get caustic soda....that stuff from B&Q looks heavy duty, may need a trip.
thanks all - am getting desperate as am ankle deep everytime i get a shower.

You might need to use a wire coathanger. Horrid job.

[GentleOtter]

You can get caustic soda from an ironmongers. It is about £2 per bottle and lasts a long time. Wicked stuff though.

The strainer is a bathroom plug saver - it makes it so much better, though I still clean with mr muscle.

i really wish id thought of the strainer before now!
