This is a fabulous recipe! I have used it for years. It is best to use it once a month on all your drains as to keep from getting a clog. Usually (from a plumber) it is soap that catches all the hair and it mats up and blocks the drain…. so using this recipe keeps the hair moving right out down and out of the drain.
I will now try the liquid dish detergent on one poorly designed bathroom sink that is a constant pain and it is a new sink too! So pay attention to the drain design when you buy a new bathroom sink…. I wish I had.

This is great for bathroom drains as the culprit is often hair. If one is trying to maintain or unclog a kitchen sink, the culprit is often grease. To treat that drain, pour 1 cup of degreasing dish washing liquid into the drain. I use the cheapest one for this and save the good stuff for washing dishes. Allow to sit at least an hour, then pour boiling water down that drain. Repeat as necessary if it's a stubborn clog until it is clear or you've decided it's just too ornery of a clog to deal with in this way.

I am assuming your Warning relates to having tried chemical drain cleaners immediately before trying this homemade version – right? I've used chemical drain cleaners on this drain before – the last time being some months ago – would yours still be safe to use now?
