I Tested Cheap Supermarket Drain Unblockers – The £2 Buy Beat Mr Muscle!

• £2 supermarket drain unblocker outperformed big brands like Mr Muscle
• Sainsbury’s and Tesco’s budget options impressed with quick, effective results
• Do you need a branded drain unblocker, or can a supermarket version do the job?

When it comes to clearing blocked drains, we’ve all been there – struggling with stubborn clogs that just won’t budge. I tested a range of supermarket drain unblockers to find out if the budget options could really rival the big brand names, and to my surprise, the results were shocking.

The winner? Sainsbury’s £2 Sink and Plughole Unblocker. This affordable solution cleared my bathroom and kitchen sinks in just 15 minutes. The formula worked quickly and effectively without any overpowering smells. It was gentle on the nose, unlike the harsh chemicals in some of the pricier brands, and delivered outstanding value for money.

In comparison, Mr Muscle’s popular drain gel (£3.75) performed decently but didn’t stand out in terms of value. The product, though effective, is expensive and comes with a very strong, chemical scent that could irritate some users.

Tesco’s £2.25 unblocker was another solid performer, clearing blockages in record time with minimal fuss. It’s affordable and efficient, making it an excellent choice for those looking to save money without compromising on quality.
