Arrived clearly damaged and unusable!

Target is no longer where we we'll spend our money! They won't allow us to return this or issue an obvious necessary refund! Why? Because it's on us to find a way to their store without transportation.

Not impressed

I have a really bad clog in my bathroom sink where the water just fills in the bowl and doesn’t drain. I used a whole bottle as directed and I still have the clog it’s not as bad but it still fills my sink. Blockage still there.
1 reply from SC Johnson Consumer Care team - 17 days ago
We understand that dealing with a clogged drain is frustrating, and we're sorry to hear that Drano® Max Gel Clog Remover didn’t power through it. If you’re still experiencing a slow-running drain after two applications, the clog may be deeper in the pipes than Drano® can reach. Since this didn't meet expectations, we’d appreciate the opportunity to learn more. Please give us a call at 1-800-558-5252 (weekdays, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. CT) and mention reference number: 23045477. Hope to hear from you soon!

We're sorry to hear about your experience with Drano® Max Gel Clog Remover. This formula typically, clears clogs to restore drains to fast flowing, so we appreciate you making us aware of this. If the clog remains after two applications, it may be located deeper in the drain and require assistance from a plumber. Since this didn't meet standards, we'd like the chance to learn more.

We had a clogged shower drain and one jar of Drano max gel was enough to clear it out. It worked as expected by following the instructions on the back. Easy and straightforward. I did let it work for around 30 mins and then turned the water on

Good stuff

I've used Drano gel for many years, it really works usually in one application. This morning it took 3, but saved a call to the plumber.

1 reply from Drano_Product Expert team - 2 months ago
Thanks for sharing, Peter. I'm sorry to learn this was your experience. We expect Drano® Max Gel Clog Remover to work great powering through buildup in your drains caused by hair, grease and gunk. However, if the clog is too far down Drano® may not be able to reach. If that's case, we only suggest using twice before contacting a plumber. We stand behind our products and are happy to help! Please give our experts a call at 1-800-558-5252 (weekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT) and provide reference number: 23028145. We look forward to your call. – Mindi, SC Johnson Consumer Care
