The Camco Drain Wire Cleaner (5mm x 3meter) is flexible spring steel wire coil used for unclogging household drains. The 5mm diameter is ideal where spacing and size of entry is limited, while being 3meter in length makes it suitable for sinks, showers, and short pipelines.
Camco, a Local Lekker South African brand.
What It Is
Drain Wire Cleaner (also called a drain snake or auger):
A coiled wire tool designed to clear blockages in pipes.
The 5mm thickness makes it sturdy enough for common clogs (hair, grease, food particles).
The 3m length allows it to reach deeper into household drains without being too unwieldy.
Typical Uses
Bathroom sinks & showers: Removes hair clumps and soap scum.
Kitchen sinks: Breaks down food debris and grease buildup.
Small outdoor drains: Can help with leaves or mud near the surface.
How to Use
1. Insert the wire into the drain opening slowly.
2. Rotate the handle (if included) or twist the wire to catch debris.
3. Push and pull gently to break up or hook the blockage.
4. Withdraw the wire and dispose of the debris.
5. Flush with hot water to clear remaining residue.
Drain Cleaner (Caustic Soda):
Breaks down grease, hair, and organic matter. It is a strong base (alkali) that releases hydroxide ions (OH ) when dissolved in water, making it highly reactive and corrosive. It's widely used in cleaning, manufacturing, and drain unblocking.
Caustic soda is a strong base that dissolves fats, proteins, and organic matter, making it a powerful cleaner and industrial chemical-but it must be handled with extreme care.
