Re: Liquid Drain openers I gave up on those long ago.
If it is a kitchen sink that is clogged, just pull the trap and deal with it. Maybe a 10-15 minute job.
If it is a bathroom sink or tub/shower drain that is clogged, 90% of the time it is a mat of hair that is the culprit, and I find that the quickest way to clear it is just pull the mat out with one of these, right through the drain...

Thing is i've done that. the clog isn't in an easy to get to spot and i can run about 3 gallons of water before the water starts backing up. -- The shortest distance between 2 points adds 1.5 stars to T. want $25? solve »coord.info/GC20A37 for me |
