uncloggers

Pipe blockage removers

Uncloggers are substances or tools designed to clear blockages, especially in drains and pipes.

Chemical uncloggers dissolve hair and grease; mechanical ones like plungers or drain snakes physically dislodge obstructions.

The term extends to anything that removes impediments: These exercises are real artery uncloggers.
