I had been using Clorox's Liquid-Plumr Pro Strength Hair Clog Remover for years.

I had stockpiled it during CT's promotion last year, and it's used up now. Is there any Canadian replacement?

Thank you

Edit: Thank you for all your suggestions. I think I'd change my habit. I'm going to install a drain hair catcher to my bathroom sink, instead of using chemical hair remover twice a year

You should not need to use a chemical clog remover that often. I have used it once in my entire life, let alone an entire "stockpile" within a year (jfc).

If you are using it that often something needs to change. Whether it be your dumping habits, or the literal plumbing in your house. A serious review is in order.

  • Fats, oils, and copious amounts of fine silt (don't ask) do not go down a drain. Oils can be reclaimed at depos/hardware stores/gas stations whatever is the local solution for you. Fats set aside and throw in the garbage once cooled and solidified.
  • Hair can be caught via mesh covers over your drain hole, collected and discarded in the trash.
  • 'Flushable' wipes/diapers/whatever are BS. Do not waste your money and/or flush them.

The only thing you should need as a homeowner is a plunger. You can get a drain snake too but that should be overkill imo.

Also the type of soap and toothpaste you use can add to clogged drains whether in the sink or bathtub/shower. They stick to hair and other contaminates in your drain, acting like a sediment. I had that problem with using arm & hammer toothpaste, tried crest instead and the problem went away.

I would, although 'install' sounds a lot more involved than they typically are. It is simply a mat with holes or a mesh.

If it is your bathroom sink clogging you should think on what is likely causing it. I can't think of anything that would regularly clog your sink. Even shaving a full beard with a straight razor would be fine so long as you collect what you can and throw it out instead of letting it drain with the water. To me it sounds like you've got something stuck in the U-trap like a toothpaste cap which is why it clogs so easily.
