17 Clothes Hanger Tips and Tricks

Clothes Hanger Drain Cleaner

Hair clogs in the drain are inevitable, especially if anyone in your family wears their hair long. I’ve found a wire coat hanger the most effective tool for removing them.

First, untwist the wire under the hook. This leaves the hook at one end and a miniature “auger” at the other end. Push the auger end down the drain up to the clog. Bend the free end 90 degrees, forming a handle. Crank the handle so the auger bores into the clog, allowing you to pull it out. — Matt Boley.
