Dot’s Elder Child recently moved into her own apartment and discovered a seriously clogged shower drain (🤮!). How, she asked Mother Dot, could she unclog a drain without using toxic chemicals? Fortunately, I had already answered this question for someone else. Keep reading.
I have a bathroom drain that clogs a lot. I don’t want to dump a bunch of corrosive chemicals down my drain (and into our waterways). Is there a better way to unclog it?

Dear Evelyn,
Sure, the easy way to unclog a drain is to dump some Drano down your pipes. But not only is that a poor environmental choice, it’s also hard on your plumbing. And your wallet.
Far better to try some DIY options.
With that in mind, I turned to the folks at Blind & Sons, in Summit County, Ohio. Blind & Sons care about your plumbing, and they don’t want you inadvertently damaging it. Like most plumbers, Blind & Sons have seen some things, Evelyn. And they don’t ever want to see those things again.
And so they share with us their advice on down-and-dirty methods to unclog your drain.
What are they? Keep reading.
