Hair blockages in bathroom drains can be a real pain, as anyone with long tresses will know all too well. Luckily, there are ways to "dissolve" hair blockages in no time at all, and you won't need to spend a fortune on pricey products. A number of Mrs Hinch devotees have now offered their advice on the matter, and one tip, in particular, has been described as the "holy grail".
Taking to the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips Facebook page, one cleaning fan asked fellow group members for their thoughts as to how she could banish any frustrating clumps of hair from her plug-hole, and ended up receiving a variety of helpful suggestions.
One tip that appears to be particularly popular is said to take no more than 15 minutes to try for yourself, and you may well have the ingredient knocking about in your bathroom cabinet already.
One savvy cleaning enthusiast wrote: "Cheap hair removal cream. Mix it with hot water in a jug and simply pour it down there and leave for 15 minutes before rinsing."
Another agreed: "Yes, hair removal cream really works, the absolute holy grail."
A third said: "Put loads of hair removal cream down the drain, it will dissolve all traces of hair."
According to Veet, a household name when it comes to hair removal products, the alkaline chemicals found in hair removal creams break down the protein structure of a person's hair, dissolving it in such a way that the follicles can easily be wiped away post-treatment.
Therefore, this product works like a charm when it comes to unblocking your clogged plughole, making any bunged-up hair much easier to budge.
If you want to give this hack a go for yourself, then you can pick up a nifty tube of 100 ml Nair Hair Remover Sensitive Cream from Sainsbury's for just £1.50.
