As for specialized tools, I’d recommend investing in a drain cleaning kit from an auto parts store. Makes the job easier if you’re a car enthusiast.
Is that really necessary? I think some household items work just as effectively.

That’s a fair point, cindy55! I believe in using what you have first before buying new tools. Always good to be budget-conscious.
Sometimes, a good old-fashioned coat hanger can also assist in clearing the drain! Just reshape it gently to reach those tricky areas.
That’s hilarious! I can just picture the look on someone’s face when they see that!

I totally agree! Also, using compressed air can help blow out any debris that might be stuck in there between cleanings.
I’ve read that pouring distilled water into the drains can help you see if they are clogged. If the water doesn’t drain down, you know it’s time for a cleaning!
That’s a smart trick! It’s a simple and effective way to diagnose drain issues without too much effort.
I recommend using a finer brush for cleaning the drains. A simple toothbrush can work wonders for getting into the nooks and crannies without damaging anything.

Don’t forget to check the rubber seals around the sunroof too! They can collect dirt and debris, adding to the risk of clogs.
