In response to Re: Drain cleaners/openers - any advice or preference?
: After paying a plumber or renting a rodder to clear a drain myself, i've been told it is good to use a drain cleaner (ie, Draino, liquid plumber,etc) ever so often to keep the drains open and clean. : 1)It sounds like good advice, does it really work? : 2)Any preference of which products to use? (Liquid, crystals, or foam)? : 3)How safe are the "industrial strength" products sold at hardware stores? : 4) What about home made cleaners ie, bleach followed by hot water, or another one I've heard is baking soda and/or vinegar? (Is this mixture toxic?) : Hope this is not asking too much - thanks. Is there a website that might have the info.? Thanks.
