While a drain snake is incredibly helpful in clearing up your sink or bathtub drain, it’s important to prevent hair and other particles from building up in the first place. A drain snake is effective at cleaning out a bathtub drain, but they could potentially damage pipes if used improperly. Instead, use an enzyme-based liquid cleaner if you prefer that over a drain snake. If you have to unclog your bathtub drain but don’t have a drain snake, you can try using an enzyme-based cleaner, such as the Mighty Mint Drain Maintainer with Enzymes, to clear out the pipes.
