anyone who lives with women knows my dilemma, hair clogging up deep into the drain pipes.

i occasionally have to pull fist size chunks of hair out of the drains, but some goes deeper where you cant get to it. draino and that foaming drain cleaner crap on TV is a joke and doesnt do anything to dissolve or remove the hair

running a drain snake through the drain makes an opening to allow the water to get by, but that hair is still mostly there, reducing the 2" pipe down to a 1" hole at best. best i can tell the clog is about 4 ft down into the drain

so what can i use that "eats" hair? most harsh chemicals eat up the metal drain pipes but do not eat the damn hair, its like indestructible

i have a combination of plastic and cast iron pipes in this old house so in all seriousness, what can i use to remove this hair from the drains so im not back to snaking them again every 3-4 weeks

i swear i dont know how they arent bald with all the hair i keep finding in these drains

We have tried a few things but it just moves the problem down the line. We usually just get the entire line snaked.

Go buy you a snake and clean as much as possible out of the line. Don’t waste your money on drain cleaners.

Pussy juice of an aids infested street walker after an 8 hour tour.

Works like a charm. You milk it like you see scientists collecting venom from a snake.

Nothing will eat the hair. You need to snake it and push it to the end, or pull it to your end. Preferably through a cleanout but it appears as if yours is closer to the source

And you can rent a snake at home depot. Pull the toilet and snake through that hole. It's big. TWHS

There's a plethora of plumbers on this site, but you probably can't afford them as they all make $400k a year.

You joke but it’s worth the 165 annual charge I pay to get one of these guys out to clean my pipes. I don’t even have to buy them dinner first.

You'll need more than hair dissolving to clean up that crime scene!

Just exactly which felonies occurred? Murder? Rape? Kidnapping? Dismemberment in a residential setting takes real professional cleansing to eliminate all trace evidence these days!

I take a wire clothes hanger and straighten it out while making a loop with the tip, almost like those Jesus fishes. I snake that through the toilet drain and sink drain, twist a couple of times, then pull out a gag-inducing wad of hair and other niceties.

Hope that helps.

I use draino. It works fine. Now I have this little hair catcher thing that goes over the drain, which seems to help.

Use hydrofluoric acid. It'll get rid of the hair, soap scum, tree roots, the pipes, the bathtubs, and your subfloor.

PROBLEM SOLVED!
