If you want to unblock a drain clogged with hair, take a look at our pick of the best shower drain unblockers. We found it wasn’t the fastest product we tried but it does work if left long enough and it’s affordable too. This can be done using a jug or a saucepan, keep going until all of the water is removed from the sink.

You were probably told about soda crystals by your granny, as they’ve been used around the home for many years. A drain protector sits on top of the plug hole and catches any stary particles that could potentially cause a blockage in the pipe.We poured equal amounts of bicarbonate of soda and vinegar down the drain, left it for 60 minutes and then had to use a plunger to remove the blockage. Another user replied: “I put hair removal cream down, leave for a bit then put a kettle of boiling water. In both attempts, the mixture of bicarbonate soda (125g), salt (125g) and vinegar (125ml) seemed to do nothing but fizz and spit in the plughole. Specially formulated for bathrooms, the spray foam clings to vertical surfaces, making it ideal for tiles,shower cubicles, plastic bathtubs, washbasins, taps, showerheads .

During our tests, the Ecozone Kitchen Drain Unblocker did work to remove the clog from our pipes but it took a very long time. This unblocker gel from Cilit Bang was not the fastest, but it was by no means the slowest product from our investigation. The unblockers were then applied following their instructions and left for the minimum required time. The set consists of ten flexible, screw together rods which can reach up to 9 metres in length when fully . The pipes were examined with a tube camera before and after the products were applied to see how effectively they worked.

You get more for your money, but this product isn't as simple as just pouring and leaving as you need to mix it with water.

To find out which of our selected drain unblockers was the best, we put the whole selection through the following tests.Collect any fats or grease from cooking in a suitable container and dispose of it in your general waste. Not only will bleach not clear the blockage but it could react with whatever proprietary unblocker you eventually have to use. Some users recommended putting a cover over the plug hole to catch the hairs so they don’t end up down the drain. Muscle Power Gel works just as well in the shower for blockages caused by hair as it does in the kitchen on blockages caused by grease etc. In both of our tests, Buster Kitchen Plughole Unblocker dissolved the clogs into a greasy acidic sludge, but the weight and mass of leftover granules fused together to form a new blockage.
