If you have seen or see the ad, don't rush out and buy it. You don't need to. Most likely you already have everything you need to clear a blocked drain and keep them draining nicely without having to buy a bottle of something.
Flush the drain regularly to keep it clean and clear of gunk
To help dissolve scum and hair in sluggish bathroom basin and bath drains, pour a mixture of 1-cup salt, 1-cup bicarb soda and ½ cup white vinegar into the drain. Then let stand for 15 minutes and flush with 4 litres boiling water followed by flushing hot tap water down the drain for 1 minute. You can repeat this process if necessary. Hint: Salt will keep small roots from taking up residence in your pipes. (This tip is in the Tip Store and my book.)
Much easier and safer than pouring a chemical down the drain.
I do this once a month in the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry. The drains never block or become sluggish and they don't smell horrible either.
