Clogged Drain...
| Fri, 06-18-2004 - 2:16am |
My DHs shower drain is clogged. I don't like to use harsh chemicals like Drano so I need some kind of remedy. Does anyone know how to unclog a drain w/ chemicals?
TIA,

and also this..........
If the drain is sluggish but not completely clogged, turn on the hot water tap for 5 to 10 minutes. This sometimes opens the drain.
If running hot water does not open the sluggish drain, try an environmentally safe chemical drain opener. Such cleaners are available in several forms, and they are made primarily from caustic soda with bauxite and other ingredients. Read the label on the drain cleaner and follow manufacturer's instructions.
After using any chemical cleaner, flush it from the drain pipes by allowing hot water to run for at least 10 minutes.
