I tried coco-cola on a very slow (not stopped up) bathtub drain and it worked well.

Once the water drained out I pulled out all the hair and crap I could get. Dumped in a 2-liter bottle room temp coke, let it sit and followed up with hot water. Your results may very.

There sure was a lot of foaming a fizzing going on. I may not drink that stuff again.


edit to add: that was a $1.99 fix.

1. I'll have to try that!

Reminds me of how pouring Dr. Pepper on your car's battery terminals will eat away the battery acid buildup.

2. Not sure I want the sugar combining with the toothpast slime. Vinegar & B. Soda

is my preferred, (though not quite so much as to induce the ole volcano from science class), but whatever works!

5. I use 100% sodium hydroxide. I buy it at the local hardware store, but it's sold all over the place.

6. Clorox works really well

Pour a cup down a sluggish drain, let it sit half an hour, pour boiling water down the drain.
It will eat anything you’ve got in there.
Not sure what it’s doing to the pipes.

7. I'm stuck with the plunger as I fear

screwing up the floria in my septic.
