Stopped-up Shower & Toilets

Unregistered

Would it help to eliminate accumulation of hair and gunk in the shower if I poured a bottle of clorox down the shower drain?

I've heard of people doing this. Infact yesterday I was joking with my boss about what a great idea Draino is.

It DOESNT do anything and everyone buys it!

Try putting about a half a cup of baking soda down the shower drain, followed by a cup of white vinegar. The foaming loosens some clogs. This only works if most or all of the water has gone down, i.e. a slow drain fix, won't do much for a serious clog. If done regularly it can keep them from clogging. I don't think this will work in a toilet and i have not used the method for toilets. If a plunger won't take care of a toilet that's stopped up, it usualy has to be snaked. I have used Drano before in sinks and sometimes it works but it's not that great.
