Sometimes crystals can reach a clog and instead of dissolving it, become a part
of it.
So I would take the crystals and drop them into a glass jar,
For the kitchen sink, have you tried baking soda,

It is my experience that you want to be careful when using chemicals to clean
drains. Many of today's chemicals are quite toxic and can actually damage your
plumbing. It is best to attempt clearing a drain by using a plunger or
plumbing snake. Often, removing and cleaning the trap can fix

Aloha Lee,
Had one more thought. I don't know if you have
one, but there are devices called grabbers that
are great for removing hair and other solid junk
from a drain if it isn't down past the elbow. It
looks like a long flexible spring. At one end is
a button that you press that makes a
Those are called mechanics fingers. Don't know why, I was a mechanic for years

Hi, don't know where you all are at or what kind of plumbing you have? But
if you have PVC pipes not all drain cleaners will work on them. You will end
