Woman shows how to unclog hair-filled shower drain in minutes using baking soda and vinegar

A WOMAN has shown how to unclog a hair-filled shower drain in a matter of minutes, by using baking soda and vinegar.

Posting on TikTok as idk_bails, the cleaning novice said the drain was "really clogged" with hair - and we're sure lots of girls can relate.

After reading you could fix it with a mixture of baking soda and vinegar, the woman decided to give it a go.

But the hack got off to a bad start, when she realised her drain was so clogged that even the baking soda wouldn't go down it.

Speaking to the camera, she said: "It's almost midnight and my shower drain was really clogged. This isn't drugs I swear, it's baking soda.

"I read online that if you fill your drain with a cup of baking soda and then a cup of vinegar it should dissolve your hair and stuff.

"But it's so clogged it (the baking soda) won't even go down the drain.

"I've probably got like a quarter cup down there and it won't go down.

"Oh well, it said to wait a few minutes and then put vinegar down it, so I guess that's what I'm going to do. I hope this doesn't explode."

After adding the vinegar, the baking soda immediately started to fizz and bubble.

She later added: "OK I'll pour a little bit more, it does that every time.

"Oh s*** I just heard it start to drain. OK it smells awful, but it worked."
