How to Unclog a Drain With Clorox

Use Clorox bleach to keep your sink drains free of buildup.

To unclog a drain without damaging the pipes, use Clorox bleach. The bleach will clean all the mildew, hair and other items possibly clogging the drain. It will also kill any bacteria or mold buildup. Use Clorox to clean your drains once a month, or when they become clogged.

Instructions

1. Remove the stopper from the drain at night before you go to bed.

2. Pour about 12 oz. of Clorox down the drain. Allow the bleach to soak into the pipes overnight.

3. Flush the drain with hot water, thoroughly, the next morning.
