Drano EarlyAction Foamer, Drain Clog Remover & Cleaner, Unclogs Hair

Strong product. Does the job. Removes mold with no scrubbing.

I have used the gel in gallon jugs by Drano. I wasn't pleased because it really didn't open the drain much. This product was extremly efficent.

I’ve purchased this more than once and have used it in the kitchen sink, bathroom sinks, and shower drains. It takes a little patience because you need to let it sit for about an hour, but the results have always been great for me. It does a really good job breaking down hair, grease, and other buildup that causes slow or clogged drains. I’ve tried several other liquid drain cleaners and none of them have worked nearly as well. I’ll keep buying this one.

I have long hair. My ex-wife has long hair. My ex-wife's two sisters had long hair. Their mother had long hair. My ex-wife's mother's mother, the sister's grandmother, had long hair, and the two family dogs were both long-haired breeds. Suffice to say that in the interim I lived with all those women, we would clog shower drains weekly if not daily. As the only man living in the home at that time, it was made abundantly clear that MEN handle plumbing issues. For a year I went nuts trying to keep two showers working. I talked to plumbers and followed their advice to the word and still had issues. Finally I spoke to an old farmer who told me how to beat the hair-clog game. He had beaver issues. His farmland was perfect for beavers to make into wetlands, so every year, newly adult beavers would swarm the creeks around his property and dam it all to flood his fields. Knowing this would happen every year, he went to every narrowing of all the creeks, mostly where roads bridged them, and widened the concrete footings enough that he could simply wait until the beavers had all but stripped the area of available trees blocking all the pass-throughs, then make one trip with a crane and a flatbed truck and pull out all the trees they'd cut down and dragged to the roadside to then either sell to a lumber yard or cut up as firewood depending on what he dredged out. The beavers would move on once they realized there wasn't enough wood to dam the creeks and he'd transplant some seedlings from the woods nearby to keep the creek nice once they'd move on. He said the key was understanding the system. Hair clogs aren't like regular clogs as they can happen anywhere in the pipe, not just in the P or S traps. How do get a liquid that dissolves clogs to work on a clog that isn't at the lowest point of the system? My secret. First, before the drain stops flowing at all, pour gallons of boiling in the tub/shower drain. This melts any soap residue and softens up gunk in general. Once all that drains, pour a bunch, think eight to ten ounces, of dish soap down the drain and let it sit. After a couple hours, run the tub or shower as hot as possible and let that hot water flush away anything the soap has managed to dissolve. If your drain is still slow, wait until everything has drained then use ONE bottle of this as instructed. The foam is great at melting hair which itself resists soap, is immune to hot water and has a tendency to make nets just above the trap or a ball of crud just past said trap. If you have a net above the trap, one bottle will clear your drain. If you have a clump of crud wrapped in hair, you'll need TWO bottles. The first bottle is enough to fill the trap with hair dissolving goodness and the second displaces enough water in the trap that the foam passes beyond the trap and dissolves the hair-armored crud ball ruining your life.

EXCELLENT product !! Clears drain well nicely.
