A cosmetic product will unclog a blocked sink in an hour: an unusual life hack

Hair is the main pollutant in bathroom drains. And it can be a real problem when it comes to unclogging. But the Internet has invented a witty life hack that can cope with it.

According to the Express, fans of various cleaning tricks have tested and approved the use of a cosmetic to pierce clogs from hair. And this is a depilatory cream. Its first purpose is to remove unwanted hair. But if it does this on the skin, what's to stop it from doing the same in the pipe?

The only problem is that such a tool has to work for a long time. Thus, lovers of cleanliness life hacks recommend squeezing half to a whole tube of depilatory cream into the clogged sink, depending on the degree of clogging, and leaving it for an hour. After that, the pipe should be flushed with plenty of hot water.

Some enthusiasts shared that they regularly clean their pipes this way to prevent blockages. One argument in favor of the cosmetic is its safety for pipes. They say that if the depilatory cream does not harm the skin, then the material from which the pipe is made will not be affected either.

Among other popular methods of home pipe cleaning, social media users also mentioned a combination of baking soda and white vinegar, salt, and a plumbing cable. But in case of severe clogging, they are still advised using special tools that can be bought at any hardware store.
