Zip It! unclogs hair, soap from bathroom drains

By Johnnie ChuokeHappy Handyman

I do a live radio show in San Antonio on KKYX. My brother- in-law always does the show with us. He has a business called Acme Doors and More. He does remodeling. So he knows all the tricks of the trade.

I asked him what is his go to item that he must have in his business. I was expecting something that had to do with refinishing or stainin and he shows me a Zip It! A Zip It?

He has a daughter and a wife with long hair and both of the drains are always getting clogged with hair and soap. He takes the Zip It and pushes it down the drain and it easily makes the curve in the drain and pushes the clog down further in the line to where it can go down, and then you pull it up and bring up anything that didnt go down. No chemicals, environmentally safe, fast and easy and very inexpensive to use. A Zip It costs less than $4. So if you have a sink drain, tub or shower drain that gets clogged with hair and soap, keep a Zip It around under the sink. And just because you are not in San Antonio doesnt mean you cant listen to The Happy Handy Man Show every Saturday from 11-12. Just go to kkyx.com and then click on Listen Live. You will hear us every Saturday.

Question: Johnnie, I have a granite table that my son put the dog soap bottle on and it left a round stain that will not come off. What can I use to get it off?

Answer: Looking at the picture, it looks like a oil stain. There is only one product that I would feel safe using for that and its the Dupont Oil Stain Remover.

Question: Please me know what the name of the cat repellent is. They are digging in my flower beds.

Answer: Use the Messina Cat and Dog Stopper. It works well. Just remember to re-apply after you water, and when it starts getting real hot.

Question: Ive enjoyed your column for years. I have a cultured marble shower that I wipe down daily and well as the floor but suddenly Ill notice that the floor is very dark and dirty. I have tried soap scum removers but they do nothing. What can you suggest?
