How do i get a small bit of water out of my bath?

Yep, use caustic soda crystals. It's the best unblocker I've used and won't rot the pipes. You can buy it in any hardware shop by the half kilo and just keep it next to the bath. As soon as it starts to drain slowly stick some down and it'll clear it through in minutes.

In this case I'd pour a cupful of dry crystals straight through the water down the plughole, but expect it to bubble, fizz and burp a bit.

It's sodium hydroxide so if you get it on your skin wash it off with water immediately and be careful to keep it away from your eyes.

Sponge or towel, simple as it gets.

Also no offense but if you are a student and you couldn't figure this out by yourself good luck with your studies.

Yep, buy some NaOH and you're laughing. Also, if you have burnt on cra in a pan just pour some in and let it sit for 30 minutes.


I tend to keep a bottle of vinegar handy if I have pure Sodium hydroxide around. Wash off with water, then vinegar, then wash off.

It can be used to dissolve bodies. It can burn your skin enough for you to need skin grafts, or enough to kill you. If you mix it with other cleaning products, it can give off a fair bit of chlorine gas, enough to kill you.

A cupful of it neat is a hell of a lot and you might well want to be more cautious with it. If you have it in a lab, it has to be kept in a locked cupboard and handled only by authorised staff wearing protective clothing, goggles and gloves.

Commercial drain unblockers based on caustic soda are usually less than a 5% solution. The pure stuff is properly dangerous.
