Among them, the "non-high temperature type" water pipe dredging agent mainly uses microorganisms or enzymes to decompose the oily dirt in the pipe. It has a mild reaction and is more suitable for the daily maintenance of the pipeline. The main component of the "high temperature" water pipe dredging agent is granular "sodium hydroxide" (NaOH), which is a strong alkali and is corrosive.

3. According to the depth of the blocked position, after keeping the length of 10 to 30 cm, bend the other end of the wire 90 degrees as the handle.
4. Insert the drain hole and turn it around to pull out the hair and dirt.

Method 3: Pokémon bottle dredging method Quickly buckle the bottle upside down into the sewer, and squeeze the bottle body firmly at the same time.
