54 Home Products That Renters Swear By
My bathroom sink tends to stop up far too easily, and this does a drastically better job of clearing the gunk than Drano or Liquid Plumr. I also love that it’s noncorrosive (I live in a pre-war apartment building with old pipes) and odorless (no one loves feeling like a bug being fumigated in their own home)!
Promising review: “I rent an apartment with older pipes, and the most useless hair-catchers known to man in my bathtub. I also happen to have a cripplingly large amount of hair — seriously, I’m like a 5’8” troll doll. Anyway, aside from burning out every vacuum cleaner I’ve ever looked at, my hair clogs drains. I needed something gentle enough to not damage the building’s ancient pipes, but tough enough to melt the solid hunk of head foliage that had formed a blockade against my bathwater.
This was the perfect solution. Followed the directions and left it for about 45 minutes, then flushed it out with boiling water. Cleared things right up. When I inevitably have to clear the drains again, because my hair is thicc and sneaky, this is what I’ll buy. No super caustic smell. Takes a bit longer than some of the harsher chemical stuff, but for me, the trade-off was worth it.” —Elizabeth Topolosky
