Does it worK?

Some of my drains were replaced with plumbing pvc. Will this damage those or metal pipes?

My shower drain takes a beating with my and DD's hair.  Also toilet seems a bit slow.  Do you just flush with the bowl water or is boiling water still needed for toilet?

Safe for disposals as well?

Thx

I used it in the bathtub and the sinks, never tried it on the toilet. It works great for me

I love this product.  It's not supposed to damage any pipes.  

I've never tried it in the toilet.  Don't they give directions on how to use in the toilet?

I use the drain sticks once a month in my shower and bathroom sink.  Seem to work well keeping the drains running freely.

Here's my unofficial answer.......I had Green Gobler - safe for copper pipes - ACID is not - eats metal

PVC pipes - nothing will hurt those - can even use ACID

Toilet - I'm not sure it's recommended for "T".  Drain pipes are large so would assume something else is going on there.

I was having a slow tub drain...and too cheap to call plumber $$$ unless I had to............so tried with success......plunging the drain with the toilet plunger!    Rain hot water - plunged - more hot water, etc.  It worked   - dislodged the hair and soap clog.

GG hardens down in the package if not used or kept dry. Hope this helps.   Read the label about toilets - I don't recall details.

For those of you dealing with hair clogs in tub drains, I highly recommend the Tub-shroom.  It is available at BB&B and on Amazon (and no doubt elsewhere).  I have long hair and the tubshroom snags tons of it every time I wash my hair!  I can't imagine how bad my drain would be without it!

I agree with @Suzeecat ....collect the hair before it goes down the drain.  I don't have the item she suggested, we use the mesh product from the dollar store for the sink....it fits in our tub/shower drain.  Works great and cheap!

I have to agree with @Suzeecat  and @Mom2Dogs .  I have a drain  hair stopper that I bought from Amazon for my tub.  It catches all the hair before it goes down the drain.  I never have to worry about clogs.

@skittles2 I don't have drain problems in the tub/shower with my long hair since I put in this hair drain sold on ebay and home store.  I take it out after every use and use a small toothbrush to clean the hair out.

If DD makes a mess in the drains, I hope SHE is the one cleaning it up!

I'm interested in this product as well for my bathroom and kitchen sinks.

For my shower drain I purchased thru QVC a set of 4 'snakes' to use for unclogging the drain.  Even though I try to wipe out hair from around the drain, its unbelievable how much can actually make its way thru the drain and down into the pipe.

The first time I used the snake I couldn't believe all the hair that came out.  I just snake it once a year and that keeps it relatively free of any blockage.  In the bathroom sinks I'm more concerned w/toothpaste debris clogging everything up.  Maybe even handsoap.

I've had the plastic drain cups in the past but found they got very moldy all the time.  I prefer the stainless steel.
