Does it work on standing water?
Asked by CJ October 16, 20201
AnswerAbsolutely! It wasn’t long after applying that I heard the drain clear. So be patient and let it work for you. You might want to get some of the water out beforehand if it’s super clogged. Try to aim for the drain.
Is it looks like gel or kind of watery? How thick it is?
Asked by Nat October 4, 20201
AnswerThank you for asking. This is a gel however, it is still liquid enough to reach through your drain to unclog it. – Brooklyn, SC Johnson Consumer Care

Can this product use in bathtub?
Asked by Vic March 11, 20195
AnswersI used it to unclog a slow drain in my bathtub. You can use this for sink or tub. I do NOT think it is recommended for use in toilets.
can this be used in toilets?
Asked by kim January 20, 20165
AnswersI would say yes as long as it is not a major toilet clog. Then you would need something else like a snake or rotor rooter.

Asked by laine January 15, 20165
AnswersWe have never had trouble with Home Depot returning funds on product which appeared to not fulfill it's intention. You might seek others who sell the product and guarantee it's effectiveness or seek the input of a plumber first.

Customer review from drano.com
I used this in my bathroom sink drain and it did not work at all.
Whole bottle used, didnt make a difference
July 28, 2020
Asked my girlfriend to grab a bottle of draino. Assuming its still a good product. I rarely have drain issues however this stuff didnt make a difference. Took the entire bottle, followed the simple instructions. The second half of the bottle seems to be draining much slower. So much for their guarantee. Out $6 for junk. I can’t do anything now until I get it all to pass through. This is now a bigger mess. Thanks Draino!

July 23, 2019
I purchased the 42 oz. size mainly because I was having an issue with only one drain. The instructions say to pour half the amount (21 oz.) into the drain. Wait 15 minutes and then flush the drain with water. I did as instructed and the drain was completely clear in 15 minutes. I went ahead and used the rest of the Drano on the slow drain in the other bathroom to the same results. I highly recommend this product for its ease of use and it comes with a guarantee.

Customer review from drano.com
I had a clogged kitchen sink with standing water. I used the Drano Max Gel per directions, waited 30 minutes and flushed it with boiling water. It did NOTHING. I repeated this process 4 times, and used an entire 80 ox bottle of Drano Max Gel. Now I have a sink full of Drano AND water. Ridiculous.

For light clogs not heavy duty
April 9, 2015
I have a plugged drain in my basement and I have no idea what it is plugged with. I have tried to use a hand snake and a grabber to no avail. I thought this gel would shake something loose down in the goose neck of the drain pipe. I followed the instructions to the “T”. I pulled water out of the drain so the gel could get right to work with no dilution by the water. Due to the goose neck I could not get all of the water out. I poured the gel in and let it stand the required length of time as stated in the instructions. After the time was up, I flushed the pipe with water and the plug was still firmly in place in the pipe. Sooo, I did it a second time and a third time but nothing loosened whatever is in the pipe goose neck. I guess if it was hair or soap scum it would blow it open but not knowing what is in the drain, the gel did not work. In all fairness the goose neck will not allow a snake or a grabber to reach what ever is in there, I had high hopes for a liquid product that could make that bend and work on the blockage. It might have, only time will tell, but I did not see one ounce of proof that this opened even a pin hole. Failed to open my drain.

I don’t know what was stuck in my Kitchen drain, but this worked to clear it out. I used boiling hot water twice to push it through. I’d definitely recommend!
