  • I would, although ‘install’ sounds a lot more involved than they typically are. It is simply a mat with holes or a mesh.

    If it is your bathroom sink clogging you should think on what is likely causing it. I can’t think of anything that would regularly clog your sink. Even shaving a full beard with a straight razor would be fine so long as you collect what you can and throw it out instead of letting it drain with the water. To me it sounds like you’ve got something stuck in the U-trap like a toothpaste cap which is why it clogs so easily.


  • You should not need to use a chemical clog remover that often. I have used it once in my entire life, let alone an entire “stockpile” within a year (jfc).

    If you are using it that often something needs to change. Whether it be your dumping habits, or the literal plumbing in your house. A serious review is in order.

    • Fats, oils, and copious amounts of fine silt (don’t ask) do not go down a drain. Oils can be reclaimed at depos/hardware stores/gas stations whatever is the local solution for you. Fats set aside and throw in the garbage once cooled and solidified.
    • Hair can be caught via mesh covers over your drain hole, collected and discarded in the trash.
    • ‘Flushable’ wipes/diapers/whatever are BS. Do not waste your money and/or flush them.

    The only thing you should need as a homeowner is a plunger. You can get a drain snake too but that should be overkill imo.
