Cheap enough, you may need a couple of goes

I have a sink that routines suffers restricted flow (soap caking from handwashing properly twice a day - contact lenses).

I'd prefer not be pouring lots of chemicals down the drain, prefer not be spending money on buying such chemicals so got myself a plunger which works fine.

I use Mr Muscle,in the sinks and shower tray.You can tell in the sinks,the water twirls faster,i kid you not.

Mr muscle drain cleaner? I can't use it because we have a septic tank but you should be OK

By coincidence my daughter has, tonight, given me a bottle to try.

Thanks. Google tells me that Tesco stock that.

I use a plunger on ours couple of times a year or as soon as it gets sluggish at draining.

Down the drain, not the hatch!
Remember that.

It could clear your system out overnight.
But always happy to help.

Oh the joys of the septic tank. All the black magic that goes on keeping it happy and rumbling along.

Ah, wasn't Blue Nun a substitute for drain cleaner ?

That was one of the things my cousin said when we visited a couple of weeks ago (North West Scotland). 'Oh by the way, no wipes down the loo, only toilet paper as we are on a septic tank'.

Our rule was that you first had to eat whatever you put down the toilet.

Then we had gormless tenants whilst we were abroad for a tour.
3 months in I get a fax from them "the toilets broken and the council laughed when we phoned them"
I replied " It's a septic tank, everyone in the village has one, it's in the lease and the instructions. I'll send the agent round and he'll explain"
He did this and made them pay for the clean out and revitalise that was necessary.
They were very pissed about this. But he showed them the bit in the lease and the instructions book that explained about the septic tank and how it should get cared for.
He requested one of them be present to witness that the rank had been emptied and they had not been scammed.
