It is a rare for us to endorse a particular product, but here goes. I used a Zip-It the other day to unclog a bathroom sink and tub drain. And all I can say is "Why didn't somebody think of this sooner?"

It worked like a charm. The Zip-It is a long flexible plastic stick with a loop for your finger. Down the length of the stick are pointy barbs angled upwards. The Zip-It goes easily into the clog and then when you pull it out, the barbs snag all the hair and pull it right out.

The clog was gone instantly. I stuck the Zip-It back in as far as I could turned it a couple of times and pulled out the last small bit of hair. It took me a total of two minutes.

If you would like to purchase one, you can get one at Ace Hardware.
