How to Naturally Remove Hair From Drain

Hair clogs in your drains are gross and obnoxious when they interfere with your plumbing. More often than not the clog is not just hair. It is an accumulation of various products you have used in the shower. This combination may even be causing a bad, lingering odor in your bathroom. Before you dump environmentally hazardous chemicals down the drain, try a natural solution to get your plumbing back in order.

Things You'll Need

• Rubber gloves
• Screwdriver
• Metal hanger
• Trashcan
• Baking soda
• Vinegar
• Rag
• Teakettle

Instructions

1. Elongate the metal hanger and bend the end to form a small hook.

2. Don your rubber gloves.

3. Use the screwdriver to remove the drain cover. Set the screws off to the side somewhere safe so they don't end up down the drain.

4. Place the trashcan (with a liner) in a convenient location. Use the hook of the metal hanger to remove as much of the clog as you can. Put the hair and other matter clogging you drain in the trash can.

5. Pour about one cup of baking soda over the drain and then follow with about 1 cup of vinegar. Place an old rag on top of the drain cover to reduce the chance of making a bubbling mess.

6. Remove your gloves, fill a teakettle and put it on to boil.

7. Put your gloves back on after the water boils. Remove the rag and pour the boiling water down the drain. Be careful not to splash yourself with boiling water.

8. Repeat using baking soda, vinegar and boiling water until the water easily flows down the drain.

9. Reinstall the drain cover and take out that stinky trash.
