QUESTION:
I’ve heard a rumor that oven cleaner works better than drain openers?
ANSWER:
While in theory, oven cleaner might seem more effective, it is NOTE SAFE to use for unclogging drains. Over time, it can harm your plumbing system, and it can also pose dangers to both the user and any plumber who may need to work on the drain later.
Additionally, due to the common practice of water recycling, it becomes challenging for water treatment plants to remove the active ingredient in oven cleaner, Potassium Hydroxide, from the wastewater.
Therefore, it's best to stick with products specifically designed for drain unclogging to ensure safety and environmental responsibility.
