Product Information

Both products are formulated to be safe on all kinds of materials, including porcelain, stainless steel, marble, and many more. How long do Liquid-Plumr and Drano take to work? In this comparison of Liquid-Plumr vs. Drano, I explain the key differences between these two popular drain cleaning brands. Since drain cleaners are relatively cheap, choose one and give it a try. If it doesn’t work, try the other. If both don’t work, you might have a more severe clog that requires either a drain snake or an actual plumber. Drano (styled as Drāno) is an American brand of chemical drain cleaner that is manufactured by S. C. Johnson & Son. Generally, we chose drain cleaners with short working times, though we gave enzymatic products some leeway in this category because they are environmentally friendly, safe for septic systems, and won’t damage plumbing.

Open carefully. Do not squeeze bottle. Avoid splashing. Clean up spills at once. Keep hands, face and children away from drains while using Drano ® drain openers. Never use a plunger during or after use of Drano ® drain openers because Drano ® may still be present if drain did not clear. Caustic drain cleaners are made with alkaline chemicals like sodium hydroxide, which convert the clog into a soaplike substance that dissolves under plain water. They’re best at removing food, grease, and soap scum from bathroom sinks, garbage disposals, showers, or tub drains—usually within 30 minutes, although most aren’t designed for use in toilets since they don’t handle paper products as well. And because hair is a common cause of drain clogging, especially in the bathroom, it’s always a good idea to install protective meshes or screens overall shower, tub, and sink drains to catch hair and other clogging agents.

TREATS CLOGS AND BUILDUP: Roebic K-570 Leach and Drain Field Opener helps to rapidly break up clogged or sluggish drain fields the primary reason for septic system failure,and restore proper drainage I’m not the only one who has tested Drano and Liquid-Plumr. Researchers and prominent publications have been trying to find the best drain cleaners for years. For Liquid-Plumr, you shouldn’t use the product for unclogging toilets or dishwashers. Avoid using a plunger along with Drano and Liquid-Plumr. The force from plunging can cause the drain cleaner to splash out of the bowl. Do not use Liquid-Plumr for your garbage disposal unless you’ve chosen a product specifically designed for that purpose. Liquid-Plumr can also not remove foreign objects from the drains. So if there is silverware or something else causing a clog — you will need to call a plumber. Many years later, the makers of Drano decided to reimagine Drano Foamer as a 2 in 1 liquid known as the Dual Force Foamer.

We’ve talked about the more natural method of pouring a pot of boiling water down the drain to work on simple clogs caused by hardened soap or grease. Another helpful practice is to fit sink strainers or pieces of wire mesh over your drains to trap hair or food particles. A lot of people also rely on plungers (and running hot water alternately) for slow drains. These remedies are quite effective for minor clogs. For more serious clogs, a popular remedy is baking soda and vinegar mixture. If there’s anything safer than septic-safe drain cleaners, it’s that.Do not use any other Drano ® product in toilets, as they do not contain microorganisms. Also, the trap configuration in toilets prevents these products from reaching areas where matter can accumulate and cause plumbing problems – so these products are ineffective in toilets. Hoyte C. Caustics. In: Walls RM, ed. Rosen's Emergency Medicine: Concepts and Clinical Practice. 10th ed. Philadelphia, PA: Elsevier; 2023:chap 143. First, let’s look at what’s inside the Liquid-Plumr Pro-Strength All-Purpose Clog Destroyer Gel (ingredients on SmartLabel.com). TubShroom’s drain protector can help keep drains clear of clogs by catching hair, food, grease, fat, and soap scum, the substances typically responsible for forming clogs. With this drain protector in place, the material doesn’t make it down the drain, so cleanup is easy.

To curate this list, we researched each drain cleaner product and analyzed the various chemical compounds and byproducts. Additionally, we considered the type of drain cleaner, the suitability of each product, and the average or expected working time of the product. Also, both brands offer several different drain cleaners (more on that in a minute), so it’s unclear whether the results would have been different if I used other formulas. Take care of tough clogs almost instantly with this caustic drain cleaner from Thrift. Simply run hot water or pour hot water from a pot or kettle into the drain and simultaneously pour the specified amount of drain cleaner into the drain. The hot water dissolves the drain cleaner and creates a powerful solution that needs only about 1 minute to work. To determine the clog type, remove the drain cover (if present) and inspect the drain opening with a flashlight. Clogs near the opening can be identified as hair, paper, etc. It's important to decide if time is a considerable factor in choosing a drain cleaner. Enzymatic cleaners take longer to work because they use natural ingredients, while chemical cleaners are fast-acting because they use harsher ingredients. Some products begin working in just about a minute, but others may take a few minutes, hours, or even days. If after several tries your drain is still not clear, Brosnan recommends trying out drain-cleaning tools such as a snake or plunger.The only form of Drano ® product recommended for use in a slow toilet is Drano ® Max Build-Up Remover. When used according to label directions, the microorganisms in this product will break down toilet paper and organic matter in pipes, which can slow water flow. (This product will NOT open a completely clogged toilet.) The key takeaway is that Drano and Liquid-Plumr both work, and they both work really well. In my experiment, Drano removed the clog more efficiently. But, ultimately, both got the job done. Based on my testing, I recommend Drano. I only needed to use 17 fluid ounces, and it worked on the first try. Liquid-Plumr worked great too, but it took two rounds of 16 fluid ounces.
