Unclog your drain effortlessly with this household cosmetic trick

Soap, shampoo, conditioner, scrub, hair—all of it goes down the bathroom drain. It needs to be cleaned regularly. If not, it can get clogged. In such a situation, most of us reach for a pipe cleaner. It's a cheap, effective, and dangerous solution. The product contains many strong chemicals that can cause severe burns upon contact with the skin.

A clogged drain doesn't always mean you need to call a plumber. In many cases, we can handle it ourselves. There are many methods to unclog a drain. Increasingly popular are home remedies based on simple, safe, and widely available ingredients.

However, there is another method that can deal with even the most clogged drain. The preparation will dissolve cosmetic residues, and even hair. You only need one item that you most likely already have in your bathroom. It's a hair removal cream. The cosmetic contains a high concentration of thioglycolic acid, which will remove all impurities. Simply press a spoonful of cream into the drain and wait five minutes.

After five minutes, pour a cup of boiling water into it. You will hear a characteristic hissing sound. This is a completely natural phenomenon due to the activity of the chemical substance. Leave the mixture for another ten minutes, and after that time, pour cold water into the drain. The clogged drain will be just a memory.

Most of us have aspirin at home. We use it at the first signs of a cold or flu. However, it can be useful not only in the home medicine cabinet but also in the bathroom or kitchen. Simply drop two tablets into the clogged drain, pour boiling water over them, and wait fifteen minutes. The acetylsalicylic acid in it will easily remove food residues, hair, or grease.
