    This is the best so far that I have tried

    Had a clogged up tub, so I poured the first bottle in it( did it like the direction said) waited a day and nothing happened. Next day did it over again and waited. The third day when I awakened and went into the bathroom, the water was gone and my tub is fine. That was a month ago. This stuff really works.

    It Did Not Work

    This did not work for what I needed it for. The drain is still clogged. It seems like it helped a little bit, so I give it a star for that, but it did not actually clear the drain clog.

    We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with Drano®. When following label directions, we'd anticipate this to easily clear tough clogs within two applications.
