According to one cleaning fan you don't need any fancy products to unblock drains - just a bottle of Coke.
They said: "Pour a bottle of Coke down it and leave overnight will clear it."
Upscale Living explained that the reason Coke works as a drain cleaner is because phosphoric acid is one of the ingredients in both the fizzy drink and some drain cleaners.
They wrote: "Pouring coke down a completely blocked drain will help fix the issue. Coke can unclog all kinds of blockages, so if you’re ever in a pinch and have some spare coca cola in your house, you should consider pouring it down the drain and leaving it for a few hours."
However that's not the only solution Mrs Hinch fans suggested, another commented that hair removal cream does a good job too.
They said: "If it's bath plug I use hair remover cream. Leave for 10-15 mins rinse away with hot water."
Someone else agreed: "I have done this as well, this sounds like a bad blockage so I would leave it overnight- then pour boiling water into it."
Other suggested making use of any plastic straws you've got.
They wrote: "Sounds crazy but use a plastic straw and do a mixing motion it works!"
