Unclog a Slow Shower Drain

An easy and environmentally safe way to unclog a slow shower drain without tools, or hazardous chemicals.

Steps

 * 1) Pour 1 cup of Dawn liquid dish detergent, or any enzyme based liquid dish soap into your shower drain.
 * 2) Wait 4-6 hours before using the shower, then flush the drain. Your drain should now flow freely.

Tips

 * The enzymes in Dawn dish detergent break down the soap scum that can build up along the pipes, and allows the drain to flow freely again.
 * To maintain a heavily used shower drain, pour 1/2 cup of Dawn into the drain at least once a month.
 * There are several high priced enzyme/bacteria culture based products on the market http://green.thefind.com/pets/detail-natural-drain-cleaner that can do the same thing, and might be worth it for seriously clogged drains.

Things You'll Need

 * Dawn liquid dish detergent.
