I have been using this product for almost three years in various clogging situations. Overall, I am confident to say that it is effective in tackling tough clogs. I used it to clear out a hard-to-remove blockage in my shower drain that was made up of dirt, soap scum, and hair. I saw a difference when I poured the gel down the drain and let it for approximately half an hour. The fact that the water began to flow freely and without backup suggested that the clog had been removed.As with any chemical cleaner, it’s important to handle it with care. The bottle includes comprehensive safety instructions, and it’s crucial to wear gloves and avoid direct contact with the product. Drano contains strong chemicals that can be harmful if not handled properly, so always follow safety precautions and avoid contact with skin or eyes. Additionally, ensuring proper ventilation while using the cleaner is a good practice, as some users find the smell of Drano unpleasant.Its adaptability is one of its best qualities. It works well with many kinds of drains, such as those found in bathtubs, showers, and sinks. I also tested it in my kitchen sink, which frequently accumulates grease and food particles. The outcome, with the clog entirely removed and the drain operating freely, was equally astounding.While the product is highly effective, it’s worth noting that the chemicals in Drano can harm the environment. If you’re concerned about environmental impact, you might want to consider alternative eco-friendly options for regular drain maintenance.The 80 oz bottle provides multiple uses, making it a cost-effective solution for maintaining clear drains. I considered this product to be a useful addition to my cleaning supplies for the home because of its strong performance. As an alternative to manual drain cleaning methods, this product is dependable and saves time and effort.

I poured like 1/4 of the bottle instead 1/5, waited about 17 minutes instead of 15, I didn't use the hot water from shower, I boiled 2 big pots of hot water until they were bubbling, poured the hot water down, the water did not drain fast, it was still slow, I poured again for about 1/2 of remaining (so I have about 1/5 left), same thing, waited about 15 minutes, boiled 2 more big pots of hot water and poured them down, and to my surprise, the hot water was draining very fast, so obviously the clog was gone.

This thing works wonderfully, I definitely recommend it, it now saves me probably a few hundred dollars of hiring a plumber.

My experience and my skill set!

First, I'm a woman in her 70's who has had to figure out stuff on her own (basically online)

I had a slow running shower. It would drain, but even a quick ten minute shower would fill the tub about up to my ankles and when you think of that water is from whatever is backing up your drain...ew.
IT would drain within about 15 mins after shower, but hated standing in any water.

Like others have said, I would IGNORE the directions and leave in longer. When I take a shower tonight, I will see if the water is moving as fast as I want it to. I notice in the bullet points, it says you can leave product in overnight.

I got two of the LARGE 80 oz bottles.

I put HALF of one in and let sit 30 mins, didn't add water, I then just poured the other half in.

I let that sit about an hour and half, so total two hours and used a whole bottle.

I thought about leaving in longer, some said they left in overnight, so like 8 hours, some said they left in 24 hours. Well, I live in a one bedroom condo with one bathroom, one shower/tub, so....

I shut the door as I have two curious cats while it did it's thing.

I started pouring really hot tap water at first, wasn't really moving that fast, but I did that a bunch of times, then I heated water in a small pot (I have cats underfoot and in my 70's and have to walk from kitchen to bathroom with uber hot water, so I didn't want to take biggest pot to try to do this).

I noticed after a few times with really hot water (when bubbles start to form at bottom of pot, doesn't have to be rolling boil), the water was going down quicker.

Makes sense. I figure the gel LOOSENS it, but the more and the HOTTER the water, the quicker through the pipes.

Now, if I had LEFT it sitting for 8 or 24 hours before putting water down, would it have helped more? MAYBE. But I think the close to boiling water being poured in helped move it along.

The gel is obviously strong. I actually have some safety goggles someone gave me and i used plain disposable gloves just to be cautious. AND I would keep your kids and pets AWAY til all is resolved and you've cleaned out any residue from tub/shower.

Bottomline: after doing several of the small pots of super hot water and then running the tub with the stopper open for awhile, the water is moving pretty darn fast.
But my takeaway after reading a ton of reviews, leave it in longer than it says. I didn't even have STANDING water, tub/shower was empty of water when I poured in and it still took me MANY pots of water (I could tell it was starting to go down as it kind of burbled/bubbled) to get the job done.

Drano does a great job keeping my bathtub draining. I have long hair and try to strain it out of the tub, but somehow hair still clogs that tub. Every few months we use drano and it flows perfectly afterwards.
This is the best brand drain cleaner we have found and highly recommend if you have slow moving drains like we do.

Lots of products out there promise you a gaurentee for this or that. 99% of the time is just smoke and mirrors, not this stuff it truly works! I used it on my bathroom sink because hair filled up the pipe I did use more than recommended but it was flawless. I have plastic pipes too they are undamaged. It's great for small to medium clogs, possibly larger I haven't tried it for that. I will definitely order again!
