This is in wikihow, that means it works, right?
>>
It works for grime but not if something is stuck in there. Then youll need draino(sulfuric acid)

this is the recipe for washing your chicken before seasoning
use the powerful combination of bleach and ammonia for positive cleaning. allow the mixture to soak in your sink basin for a few hours prior for maximum effect
>>
Cover drain with plunger, fill basin with hot water and dawn, plunge vigorously, repeat as many times as necessary
>>
>>2973733
Depends on the clog. If it's just hair? Maybe. If it's grease? No.

Did someone say clog?
>>
>>2973733
This will only work if the clog is very near the drain and loose. If it's past the p-trap, it's not going to work.

If it is in the p-trap, you might as well just remove it and clean it by hand. This is a woman who doesn't want to get her hands dirty "fix".

>>2973733
Acid + Base = Neutral. Why would it dislodge anything?
>>
>>2973734
draino is not sulfuric acid, it's basically thickened bleach. it used to be a complex mixture of powder that you dumped down the drain. not sure if you can get powdered draino anymore.

sulfuric acid is very nasty stuff, I would not use it to clear a drain. it can stink you out of house and home. ask me how I know.

You can make your own, or you could just get a massive tub of caustic soda and use it on its own.
>>
>>2973733
Shit never works for me.

>>2973733
good enough, brown hands and stronger acids have had poor reactions in the past
>>
>>2973733
I don't get why normgroids are so fascinated by bubbles or fizzing and think neutralizing a base and acid and turning it into water somehow cleans anything.
I constantly see this in those "cleaning hack" videos and I seethe every time.
>>
>>2973960
This. All the mixture does is bubble fir a bit, then dies.
>>
It makes mustard gas you fucks op dont do it
>>
>>2973794
the idea is that you put the soda or a slurry of soda down into the drain. then you add the acid so that it foams up. the gas evolution is meant to physically dislodge the clog.
it usually never works
>>
>>2973733
This makes mustard gas
>>
>>2973733
Yes. If the goal is the creation of a warm sodium acetate salt solution.

Next. Lemons. Why aren't you wiping them on your walls yet?
>>
>>2974267
What if mustard gas is good at decloging tho
>>
As a service plumber I regularly run into 'we used draino a few times'
cool now your easy to remove hair clog is a melted mess of protein I can't grab on to
if you really want to not hire a plumber just buy a handcrank 50' snake for $30
>>
>>2976983
>protein I can't grab on to
Then that's not the clog. The clog is deeper and needed a longer snake drill thing.

Just use hot water and chemicals, a plunger, and then flush immediately with at least three buckets of water.

That snake drill thing is gross.
>>
>>2976985
>Then that's not the clog.
sure, but when you instigate a thick matt of protein the pile up in the drain it causes other things to get stuck and then you have a clog
it's a terrible problem solving decision
>Just use hot water and chemicals, a plunger, and then flush immediately with at least three buckets of water.
if drain ain't draining this isn't a thing
you have to mechanically break the blockage

Of course. Has wikihow ever been wrong about anything?
>>
>>2976966
Mustard gas is great for declogging your lungs. Big Pharma doesn't want you to know this.
>>
>>2973743
don't do this, it creates beautiful crystals
>>
>>2973733
Don't do this
It makes volcanoes
