Cleaning the bathroom is not the most pleasant household chore. One of the worst tasks we have to deal with is unblocking the drain. Some people install special covers and strainers in the shower tray that retain dirt. Unfortunately, not everyone knows this and in a crisis, the first thing they do is use strong chemicals. It doesn’t have to be this way.
How to unclog a drain with aspirin? Take two tablets and vinegar
A clogged drain prevents use. Due to dirt, soap remnants and hair, the water remains in the bathtub and does not want to drain. Many people panic in such a situation and call a plumber. Others run to the store and buy caustic agents that dissolve clogs from hair, fur and nails. However, you must bear in mind that they may damage the pipes and irritate the respiratory tract of the person who pours such liquid into the shower tray.
We have a much simpler solution. Take two aspirin tablets, crush them and pour them into the drain. Pour a glass (250 ml) of hot vinegar over everything. Don’t be scared when you hear the characteristic gurgling sound and smell the stench. It’s a good sign. Wait 15 minutes and pour a glass of boiling water down the drain.

Unusual use of aspirin. Throw a few pieces down the toilet
Aspirin and vinegar will dissolve all dirt and additionally neutralize the unpleasant odor. You can also replace aspirin with baking soda combined with salt. Sprinkle them over the drain, pour vinegar over them, wait a while and run warm water from the shower. Remember to wear protective gloves and keep your distance during the procedure. Unclogging the drain is not the only use for aspirin in the bathroom. Acetylsalicylic acid can also deal with dirty toilet seats very well. Drop a few pieces of aspirin into the bowl and leave for 30 minutes. After this time, scrub the toilet with a brush and drain the water. There will be no trace of the rust stains.
