Can I Use Chemical Drain Cleaners To Clean My Pipes?
While chemical drain cleaners like Liquid-Plumr, also known as Liquid Plumber, or Drano can be effective with minor clogs there is a risk that the lye and bleach in the solution will corrode metal or PVC pipes. Liquid plumber solutions should also not be used in a toilet as it could damage parts of the toilet and it is typically ineffective.
Lastly, these chemicals could present health risks if you come in contact with your skin or eyes according to MedlinePlus.gov.
Bottom Line: We don’t recommend using chemical drain cleaners for even minor clogs.
DIY Alternatives to Chemical Drain Cleaners
There are several DIY drain cleaning methods for minor clogs while avoiding strong chemical cleaners You can start with basic tools like a plunger or a handheld auger, also known as a manual drain snake, to break up or remove debris like hair.
Boiling water can be used to dissolve grease. A combination of baking soda and vinegar creates a fizzing reaction, which helps to break down deposits. Additionally, a wet/dry vacuum provides powerful suction for cleaning.
For severe clogs and backups, we recommend contacting a professional plumber to remove the blockage without damaging the pipes for a long lasting fix.
