Clogging drains freispindeln

The water runs off quickly and then suddenly very slowly?

That's because there's a knot somewhere in the drain line. Mostly caused by hair or debris. How do you get the environmentally friendly away?

My recommendation (tested 5 minutes ago):


Spindle the pipe! In every well-stocked hardware store there are "pipe cleaning spirals with crank" in different lengths and diameters. For me, a 3m long and 6mm thick spindle (6 euros and reusable) was enough to loosen the knot.

But watch out! The trick when spindling is the following: The spindle must be turned during insertion on the handle (like the starter crank on a vintage car).

For most spindles the handle is therefore angled twice! When turning the spindle eats slowly into the knot and this can then be pulled out of the tube. Now pour a few more liters of boiling water (dissolves residues). Finished.
