I think the one I saw advertising no wound up threads/hair, was a Bissell. I know nothing
about them.

But I do know it really bugs me when I find a really long brunette hair from my granddaughter,
or my son's lady friend...and wonder how many of those hairs are messing up my drains. ;-))

The worst thing for messing up drains is those wet 'wipes' - they say
flushable on them and I guess they will go down but if there are
older, ceramic pipes, they can cause havoc when they get caught up on
a rough edge. They unearthed a huge conglomeration of stuff in a
London drain due to those things.

Lucretia, you are correct about the "flushable" wipes. They aren't. My plumber thinks
some entity (a city, perhaps) should absolutely sue the makers.

Agreed. Only toilet paper should be flushed. Not even paper
towels.

I did a load of laundry 2 weeks ago and somehow a paper towel got
mixed in. Oh what a mess that was. About a thousand little paper
towel bits all stuck to the clean clothes. Big mistake.

I also have (doing the occasional hand wash in a 5-gallon bucket)
missed something before I poured the soapy water into the toilet.
While pouring, I'd see:
First time: an athletic sock pour out and go right down
2nd time years later: a pair of underpants do the same.

Both times clogged it immediately and required a snake to remove.
Both times I got scolded for doing that. heheh

I don't hand wash items anymore. Live and learn from history.

If that happens put two Downy cloths in the dryer and run. Usually
gathers it all up. Now I am talking a kleenex but should work for
paper towel as well.

I saw pics of the London blockage, bigger than a double decker bus, I
would think they are suing - costly as well as difficult and
inconvenient.

He does not need to wipe his butt. He is a perfect asshole.

Correction: the commercial I saw for "no hair wrap," was Shark. Someone said that, so
good on you. ;-))
