A CLEANTOK fan has put a social media hack to the test after her shower drain became clogged.
She rounded up the three necessary ingredients from her kitchen and watched the trick work like a charm.

Azure MacCannell (@livecomposed) filmed the step-by-step process for a video that’s racked up 7.6 million views.
“Trying CleanTok hacks [on a] clogged drain,” she wrote. “Water was still flowing, drain wasn’t 100% plugged, just super slow.”
The result, she told commenters, was “unclogging magic.”
First, she demonstrated just how bad her drain had gotten, recording as sudsy water swirled but didn’t go down.
Then she got to work boiling a pot of water on the stove and pouring it down the drain.
Azure then squirted Dawn dish soap down after it, followed by about one cup of baking soda.
She finished it off with a healthy pour of vinegar, which immediately started to bubble upon mixing with the baking soda.
After letting that sit for 15 minutes, she poured more boiling water down the drain.
Running her shower again, she watched as the water went down more easily than it had before.
“Wow! That worked!” she wrote.
Azure admitted that she normally just snakes the drain, saying there’s “something satisfying about seeing the gunk” — but she was up for trying something new.
“I wanted to see if this ‘hack’ actually works,” she said. “I wanted to hate on it, but the combo cleared that funk.”
In fact, she did snake the train after the hack helped clear the way and joked that there was “a whole animal was living in there.”
She also prefers this method over Drano, saying she “leans away from harsh chemicals.”
As an added bonus, she told fans that the mixture “kills fruit fly larvae too.”
