Liquid-Plumr Pro-Strength Hair Eliminator Gel Clog Remover, Hair Clog Remover and Drain Opener, Safe for All Septic Systems and Pipes, 16 fl. oz. Bottle

I’ve tried a few different drain cleaners over the years, but Liquid-Plumr is the one I always come back to. It works fast and actually does what it claims—clears up clogs without a ton of hassle.I used it on a slow-draining bathroom sink and again in the shower where hair tends to build up. I poured it in, waited about 15 minutes like the bottle says, flushed it with hot water, and the drains were back to normal. No more standing water or gurgling sounds.What I also like is that it doesn’t have a super strong chemical smell, and I haven’t noticed any damage to the pipes (PVC and metal). It’s strong enough to tackle tough clogs but still safe for regular use when needed.Highly recommend keeping a bottle under the sink just in case—saves you a call to the plumber!

I’ve bought this product a couple of times now and I gotta say, I’m impressed. While I don’t know enough about plumbing to comment on things like safety for septic systems, potential damage to pipes, etc., I can tell you that as someone with kind of a lot of hair that sheds a ton on the daily, this product has saved me a whole lot of time and frustration in cleaning out sinks and shower drains. Completely effortless—just dump into whatever drain you’re hoping to clear, let it sit, and then rinse it out. It does have a pretty strong bleach-like scent that takes a couple days to completely dissipate, but it does a great job of restoring drain flow, so it’s probably worth the unpleasant smell. So far, I have had no issues using this product (and it was initially recommended to me by a plumber I’d had to hire for a related problem), so it seems safe enough at least for occasional use. Great product, low cost; it’s a win-win.

This stuff was amazing. I've got long hair and no amount of hair catchers and careful watching has been able to stop the slow eventual clogging of my drains. I was this close to paying probably too much for a plumber to snake my pipes and clear them out. But I figured hey. For this cheap I might as well give it a try.It was so easy. Just dump the whole thing down the drain. Wait a little bit. Flush it down with hot water. I used to get an inch of water in my tub when I showered because the water drained so slow. First time I used it after this, nothing. No standing water. No slow draining. I'm so amazed and impressed. It cleaned out my pipes in one go and I couldn't be happier.I 100% recommend and will be buying again.

This product works! I would give it 10 stars if I could! I tried 3/4 different products to try to unclog my bathroom sink from all the cosmetic, toothpaste, hair etc and nothing seem to work. Until I tried this.Completely took care of the problem. Follow instructions and in 15 minutes you are clog free. Very satisfied.

Removed most of the clog, but had to use a second bottle two days later to fully remove. It took a little longer for the item to get below the water standing in the sink, but it did eventually get there. Packaging is sturdy.

I bought a house 3 years ago which has a primary shower with a very narrow drain opening.It's far too narrow to reasonably use a snake or other physical method of removing clogs.Fast forward some 4 months into ownership and the water was standing and it was getting to my ankles while taking a shower.No big deal, I've used drain opener powder (lye) before. 3 treatments and no improvement.Okay, I used Liquid Plumr in my old apartment to clear out a, presumably, beard hair clog.The big jug and 4 separate uses and the clog was still there. It's time for some research.I came across this and was skeptical but hopeful. It only had one treatment.If it didn't work it was a(nother) waste of money.Poured it in, let it sit for 20 minutes, and flushed it out. Next day... no backup. A week later... rapid draining. 6 months later like it's connected to a vacuum cleaner.A year and a half later aaannnddd yeah it's getting slow. I held my breath and poured it in. After that, I was good for well over a year. Here we are a few weeks after its third use and it's working as intended.Now, my hair grows extraordinarily quickly and I shed *a lot* of hair. You likely will not have to repeat use. Still, a bottle every 18 months for the cost of a coffee? Far better than a plumber.I won't comment on its use in a sink as I've only used it in a shower drain.(In that case, you could probably just remove the trap, plug the sewer pipe, clear the clog, and reassemble. It only takes a few minutes.)Finally: tips, for any kind of drain-clearing product: They will all say to run *hot* water to clear the product.The ideal way to do this is to:Run the sink next to the shower until piping hot.Place a large bowl under the tub spout until the water in the water is hot.Move bowl and run the hottest water possible through the drain for 30 seconds or so.Amazon's asking me to comment on the safety: keep this away from children on a high shelf. Strength: strong enough to easily clear the clog. Smell: it smells like bleach you'd use in laundering white clothing. I'd wait at least 30 minutes after usage before taking a shower or spending significant time in the bathroom.

My kids have long curly hair and despite all efforts to keep the hair out of the drain, they get clogged a couple times a year. I used a bottle of this in the tub that was not draining at all - poured it in, most of it kind of pooled near the drain as it was too clogged for it to go anywhere. Left it overnight. In the morning the drain was clear!!! I’ve used this in my sinks as well. Smells a bit like bleach so definitely don’t get it on your skin, has safety directions on the back. But it works. For something less than $10 it works phenomenally. I will be keeping some on hand! Great value for what it’s worth!

Worked Perfectly. I was not able to unblock the drain with a hair grabber/snake. I poured this town in 15 minutes later my drain was running smooth.
