So you have been observing how slowly
your bath tub has been draining lately. Another day
goes by, only this time, the tub is draining much slower
than it did the day before.
Knowing that this is a problem that has to be taken
care of, you rush over to the store to purchase a liquid
drain cleaner. After following the instructions on the
label you then turn on the faucet to the tub. It is
draining, but not as quickly as you had expected.
Anyway, thinking that you have undoubtedly solved the
problem, you go about your daily life. A few days later,
you notice that the tub has returned to draining slowly
again. Thinking now that maybe the liquid remover was
not a longterm solution, you turn to the internet as
a last resort before making that call to the plumber.
This is where you learn of a device called 'Zip-It.'
So you then go to your nearest 'Home Depot,' and after
a considerably long search, (for some of the employees
did not know they carried it) you find the 'Zip It'
clog remover.
Hoping that this plastic, rod like device with barbs
on either side will rid your tub of whatever is slowing
it down, you make a dash for home. On dipping it into
your bath tub drain, you feel that it, the 'Zip-It'
has grabbed on to something.
So with wonder in your eyes, you pull it out, to witness
the amount of hair mingled with soap/shampoo that you
have managed to remove from the drain. With enthusiasm,
you now are truly convinced that you can rid the drain
of whatever else in the tub drain, so you repeat the
process until you are satisfied that your tub is now
free of the clog.
I must say that this 'Zip-It' is a great tool for ridding
your tub of hair that slows down the draining process.
Just use it whenever you feel your tub's draining process
is slowing down. If the liquid remover is not working
for you give this a try, it can be found at your nearest
'Home Depot,' 'Lowes' or local hardware store. You will
be happy with the results, for your tub will return
to draining as fast as it should. |
