Drain Cleaner
We raised three girls. This tool saved me many times. - kokois1ExplorerTask completed! Drains, all of them, cleaned out. Thanks for all the responses.
- Clay_LExplorerI am also a fan of the ZipIt tool mentioned above, but I don't throw it away after it is used once. In fact I have been using the same one for several years. I just wipe it clean after use being very careful to avoid those sharp points.
- GjacExplorer IIII made a tool out of a section of garden hose and a bicycle inner tube that fits in my drains. When ever they become slow to drain I insert it into the drain and turn on the hose. The water under pressure cleans the drains. It seems like I have to do this every other year. I also have the "zipit" drain cleaner but that does not remove soap scum buildup only hair if you can fully insert it.
- rgatijnet1Explorer IIILook at the tub drain and see if there is a screw to remove the top cover. If there is, take the cover off and manually clean out the drain with one of the many plastic snags used to grab hair and other debris. Once this is done, things should be fine, until the next time.
- botts12ExplorerAfter you get things cleaned out, you might consider using a small drain screen. We get them at the flea market. It is amazing how much hair is in one after just a few showers. We have been in our RV full time for 2 1/2 years now without ever having a drain clog.
- prstlkExplorerDouble ditto on the hair snare sold a bunch when I worked 4 the depot got lots of great feed back from the customers one dad with 3 long haired teen girls came back and told me "had them use it really grossed them out, now they are more careful with what goes down the drain"
Jw - DSDP_DonExplorerkokois1....Sometimes it's hard to see, but many RV showers/tubs have a chrome drain cover and then another built in strainer under them. Check to see if you have two. If so, remove the chrome one and clean out the junk under it.
- kokois1ExplorerThanks for the response. I have one of those but didn't try it as yet because I didn't think it would go far enough. I will give it a plunge and see what comes up! Thanks again!
