If I am not mistaken, it is for kitchen fat. That stuff is never going to melt hair! smile.gif

BTW, what is it that's clogged? Kitchen sink? Bathroom floor-drain hole?

Bathroom floor-drain hole, First floor bathroom.
I crawled into the ceiling to take a look at the pipeline but there's nothing I can remove for cleaning.

Then, due to the way the hole is made, the wire can't go deep.

Gone to hardware store this afternoon but I didn't buy any of those drain clog remover stuff because the guy that recommend me the stuff there doesn't sound like he ever use it before.

you should go to ace hardware, and buy drain opener.

Ace hardware sells many of them. The best one is "i forgot the name"... but i recalled from all the collection, it has plastic bag sealed wrapped the sealed bottle... all drain opener are liqued, stored in sealed bottle. this one lagi best, it has plastic sealed wrapped outside sealed bottle... the bottle is white, the brand written in red / black printing. and it has word "professional grade"... sure will not miss lah..

these things sure real posion so make sure you know what you are doing, protect ur hand, don't let it sprink to ur skin and... it smells acid badly so make sure ventilation is there

PVC melted because you leave it longer than 1 hour without any water. actually i think 15 minutes already overloaded...

have you notice when you pour the acid there is a smoke and smell ? that's when the acid eat up everything inside the pvc... then after the smoke and smell gone, wait for 15 minutes - 1 hour (depends on how big the pvc is) and then you flush it with water.... flush it with plenty of water. i mean reallllllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy plenty of water. This is to disolve acidic texture inside pvc...

You should try using the clog remover liquid first, before trying using a strong acid?
It cost around rm25 at hardware shop.. you pour the whole bottle (yes, it's a one time use) and leave it overnight.. if i'm not mistaken, you need to leave it overnight. It will melts any organic material... hair is organic.. so, it should work on hair too..

but if you think it may not work, probably just hire a plumber to check it out.. plumber probably knows more trick than we do..

Bought acid from a hardware store for my case. It works but do be careful when handling. Plus the fumes are poisonous.

where do you live first? If live in apartment or condo cannot simply use clog remover.
