Why drains get blocked

Drains can become blocked for many everyday reasons. The most common are: 
– Kitchen sinks: grease, oil and bits of food building up in the pipe. 
– Bathroom sinks and showers: hair, soap residue and toothpaste combining into sticky clumps. 
– Toilets and utility drains: too much paper or items that don’t dissolve properly. 

Over time, these blockages restrict the flow of water — but HG Drain and Plug Unblocker works to dissolve and loosen them fast.

The best way to clear a blocked drain

HG Drain and Plug Unblocker is a ready-to-use liquid formula designed for everyday drain problems. It works on food waste, grease and other common clogs, and is safe for plastic pipes. Unlike some home remedies, it doesn’t foam or splash, so you can use it with confidence.

Step-by-step: how to use HG Drain and Plug Unblocker

1. Prepare the area – If possible, remove any standing water from the sink or shower tray. Clear visible debris from the plughole and make sure the area is well ventilated. 
2. Pour in the product – Carefully pour about 300–500 ml of HG Drain and Plug Unblocker* directly into the blocked drain. 
3. Let it work – Leave the product to do its job for around 5 to 30 minutes, depending on how severe the blockage is. For stubborn clogs, leaving it a little longer can help it work more deeply. 
4. Flush with water – Rinse thoroughly with plenty of warm or hot water. This washes away the loosened material and clears the pipe. 
5. Check and repeat if needed – If the drain is still slow, repeat the treatment once more. Persistent blockages often clear completely after a second application.

How to prevent future blockages

Once your drain is clear, a few simple habits can help keep it that way: 
– Don’t pour oils, fats or leftover food down the kitchen sink. 
– Use a hair catcher in showers and basins. 
– Rinse sinks regularly with hot water to prevent soap and grease build-up. 
– Keep plugholes clear and clean them before they start to smell or drain slowly.

Blocked drains are inconvenient but easy to fix. HG Drain and Plug Unblocker gives you a fast, effective and safe way to clear most household clogs — so water flows freely again, without the stress or expense of calling a professional.
