A SUPER-KEEN cleaning fan has revealed her trick for unclogging pesky drains in just moments with little more than a single - and cheap - dishwasher tablet.

Tens of thousands of TikTok fans have given the thumbs-up to the simple measure explained by the UK-based @cleaningwithdanielled account.

A caption on her 25-second online clip promises: "Clogged drain? Dishwasher tablet will unblock your drains and it will eliminate any odours!"

The footage shows a small dishwasher tablet being unwrapped from its plastic packaging, along with the instruction: "Use a dishwasher tablet with part boiled water."

After placing the tablet within the plughole, warm water is poured on from a kettle.

A plug is then restored on top of the now-disintegrated tablet before more part-boiled water is swished around for good measure.
