Orbeez just fell down the plug hole!!

Was draining some water from a tub of orbeez, when a few fell in the sink and slipped down the plug hole.

I laughed at first then realised these things grow when left in water!

Anyone else done this? Any tips to dissolve the balls?

Thanks

I think your best bet would be to unscrew the u bend and get them out. Otherwise some high strength drain unblocker, the kind which eats through paper and poo, would probably dissolve them, but it’s nasty stuff.

Sorry,but what are Orbeez?!

They're little beads you put in water and they grow a lot bigger.

Think I will have to try the unblocker!

Boiling water? Since you make them with cold.
