Drain de-clogging

    Morning all,

    So the sink in the bathroom has gotten clogged - water is still passing through it but slowly and it needs a clean-out.

    There was a bottle of stuff I got before in a SuperValu when I lived in Cavan that was great. Just add it to a bucket of water, pour it down the plug hole and wait 20 mins. Job done!

    Unfortunately I can't remember the name of the stuff and my now local SuperValu doesn't have it.

    Any suggestions for an alternative product that doesn't require pulling the sink apart?
    I have a Dunnes and Woodies nearby but that's about it (D18 - I honestly don't understand the fascination with this part of the city because there's feck all in the area, but that's another thread :p) - but will go over to Blanch where the options are a lot better if necessary.

    Thanks in advance.

    It should be very easy to open the u-bend and clean it out.
    just remember to not empty it into the sink you just took it off! (its *very* easily done!)

    Unfortunately it's one of these fancy bathrooms/sinks with a cover/panel that'd have to be removed and I don't have a full toolkit to remove bolts etc and not very DIY inclined anyway :o

    Ahhh.
    If there is a Lidl or Aldi nearby, they also sell drain gunk for dissolving all the hair and crap.
    Be warned, they contain bleach and any splashing will eat through your clothes :(

    There's an Aldi just up the road from the office alright. Might take a wander up at lunchtime and see what they have.

    Cheers :)
