Solutions for drains blocked by hair

Before using a specialist product, you can also try:

• Removing hair manually with a drain tool or hook
• Using hot water and washing-up liquid
• Using a plunger to dislodge the blockage

If these methods do not work, use an HG product for a more reliable result. Try one of the HG unblockers specially designed for dissolving hair, such as the HG drain and plug hair unblocker, HG duo unblocker or HG drain and plug unblocker gel. Always follow the instructions for use.

Causes of hair in drains

Hair blockages can be caused by:

• Hair loss during showering or bathing
• Lack of a drain filter or strainer
• Build-up of hair combined with soap and grease
• Not removing visible hair from the drain regularly

To prevent blockages:

• Install a hair catcher
• Remove visible hair regularly
• Use HG drain cleaner sticks to break down build-up. The sticks provide a gradual release of enzymes that break down soap residue, skin oils and other dirt, preventing blockages and unpleasant smells from developing in your drains.
