Just how safe and effective is that liquid drain cleaner?

Check out the great article (link here:  Just how safe and effective is that liquid drain cleaner?) on the dangers of drain cleaning liquids.  As they note, “They can burn through mild grease and hair clogs in a drain, but can do the same to your skin and eyes.”

The Drain-Net product line is the green alternative to chemical pipe cleaners. For anything more than a superficial drain clog you will likely have to use an acidic chemical or an enzyme chemical.  Acidic chemicals typically contain sulfuric or hydrochloric acid which can actually damage the very drains you are trying to protect, not to mention the damage chemicals like these do to the environment.  While Enzyme chemicals and Alkaline chemicals are a little more environmentally friendly, they do not provide the results needed when a major drainage issue occurs.  Don’t forget that all these chemicals end up in our lakes, rivers, and drinking water.  We are all much better off using a chemical-free solution whenever possible!
