THE TOP 4 REASONS YOUR DRAIN IS CLOGGED

Drain clogs can nearly ruin your day. But with a little know-how, you can take charge and show those clogs who’s boss. Here are the top six enemies of free-flowing drains (and foes of household harmony), and how to defeat them. All by yourself.

1. Hair

If you, or someone in your household, has long hair (or is the lead singer in a metal band), then a hair clog is likely the culprit. Strands of long hair tend to clump up inside and cause hair clogged drains. The solution? Drano® Bathroom Max Gel —it works great on hair clogs.

2. FOOD

Sometimes ordering the one-pound triple cheeseburger seems like a good idea, but then halfway through, your belt snaps due to the immense pressure. The lesson: When you throw leftovers down the drain instead of in the trash, clogs happen.

3. SOAP SCUM

If you stop using soap when you bathe, you won’t have as many clogs. But you also won’t have as many friends. Rather than ditching soap altogether, use liquid shower gel instead of cake soap to help prevent soap scum from building up in your drain.

4. COOKING GREASE AND OIL

Grease is sneaky. It presents as a liquid, so you’d think it can go down the drain, but once it’s down there, it starts playing tricks, hardening and sticking to your pipes causing grease clogged drains. Home remedies like baking soda and vinegar may lead to more frustration. That’s where Drano® Kitchen Crystals comes in! It’s great at melting down grease. If your kitchen sink has a garbage disposal, do not use Drano® Kitchen Crystals. For a clog try Drano® Kitchen Max Gel.
