Liquid-Plumr Advanced Action Clog Destroyer Gel, Removes Multiple Types of Clogs including Hair, Deodorizes and Freshens, Safe for All Septic Systems and Pipes, 2 Bottles, 32 fl. oz. Bottle

I purchased Clorox Liquid-Plumr Pro-Strength Clog Destroyer to tackle a persistent clog in my shower and tub, and it worked quickly and effectively. The product cleared the blockage without the need for harsh physical tools, leaving drains flowing freely. Pros include its fast-acting formula, effectiveness on stubborn clogs, and ease of use without complicated preparation. A minor con is the strong chemical smell, so good ventilation is necessary during use. Value for money: Considering how well it cleared a clog that had been lingering for weeks, it’s a very cost-effective solution compared to repeated plumber visits. Overall, a reliable and powerful drain cleaner that gets the job done efficiently.

This is a product every household should have, in addition to the phone number of a good plumber, an auger or snake, some baking soda, and some vinegar. The key is not letting clogs get so out of control that you need professional intervention. PREVENTION: Our tub and sinks have small close mesh wire drain covers which catches about 80% of hair and just about anything else. Once or twice a year we use this product in all our sink and tub drains as part of our regular cleaning. We live in an older place and this product doesn't hurt the pipes. The bottle says safe for all kinds. A plumbing auger or snake (very inexpensive) comes in handy. For temporary relief, sometimes pouring baking soda down a drain and then some vinegar will help things move a bit. It works like a reverse volcano almost. But it's rarely a cure. THIS PRODUCT: It may say to let things sit for a certain amount of time but you can't see how bad your clog is, so I always leave it in a lot longer and use a different sink. Otherwise, you may have to buy more bottles of this or call a plumber. It's not unusual for this to take more than one bottle to work but it's still cheaper than a plumber. There's no bad smell from this. Again, safe for all pipes. We let it sit a little longer than the bottle says. It does NOT work well on standing water. WHEN BEST TO USE: As part of regular cleaning when you first see things aren't draining as fast. The price point here is on par with the local hardware store and even Target. No complaints.

Works fairly well

GREAT!

Works well

Having dealt with some stubborn bathroom drain clogs recently, I decided to try Liquid-Plumr Advanced Action Clog Destroyer after hearing about its supposed powerful formula. After several uses, I have some thoughts to share for anyone considering this product. ## Performance: Satisfactory, Not Miraculous For standard hair and soap scum clogs, Liquid-Plumr Advanced Action does provide reasonable results. My bathroom sink, which was draining slowly due to accumulated buildup, showed noticeable improvement after the recommended treatment time. However, it wasn't the dramatic, immediate clearing effect that the product advertising suggests. The more stubborn clogs in my shower drain required two applications before showing significant improvement. This was somewhat disappointing considering the product's "advanced action" claim and premium price point. ## Ease of Use: Straightforward The product comes with clear instructions that are easy to follow: - Pour the recommended amount down the drain - Wait the specified time (usually 15-30 minutes) - Flush with hot water The bottle design includes a safety cap that's child-resistant while still being manageable for adults. The thick consistency helps the product reach the clog rather than immediately washing away, which is a positive design feature. ## Smell and Safety Concerns Like most chemical drain cleaners, Liquid-Plumr has a strong chemical odor that necessitates good ventilation during use. The fumes can be unpleasant and potentially irritating to those with respiratory sensitivities. Be sure to avoid inhaling directly and keep the bathroom fan running. I appreciated the thick formula that reduces splashing, but still found it necessary to use gloves as recommended to avoid skin contact. ## Value for Money: The Major Drawback This is where Liquid-Plumr Advanced Action falls short most significantly. The price point is considerably higher than many competing products on the market, yet the performance doesn't necessarily justify this premium. For the cost of one bottle, you could purchase nearly two bottles of some competitor brands that deliver similar results. Given that most stubborn clogs required multiple applications, the cost-effectiveness becomes even more questionable. A single bottle doesn't go very far when treating multiple drains or requiring repeat applications. ## Environmental Considerations As with most chemical drain cleaners, there are environmental concerns with Liquid-Plumr. The harsh chemicals can potentially impact pipes over time and eventually enter the water system. For those concerned about eco-friendly options, this product wouldn't be the ideal choice. ## Alternatives Worth Considering For many common clogs, less expensive methods like a basic plunger, drain snake, or even the baking soda and vinegar method might be worth trying first. For the price of one bottle of Liquid-Plumr, you could purchase a quality drain snake that can be reused countless times. ## Final Verdict Liquid-Plumr Advanced Action Clog Destroyer delivers adequate, though not exceptional, results for typical household clogs. It works better than doing nothing and may save you from calling a plumber for simple clogs, but the high price point makes it difficult to recommend enthusiastically. If you find it on sale or have a particularly valuable drain that's clogging (like in an expensive fixture), it might be worth having a bottle on hand. Otherwise, consider starting with less expensive mechanical methods or more budget-friendly chemical alternatives. **Pros:** - Reasonably effective on standard clogs - Clear instructions and user-friendly bottle design - Works without requiring immediate plunging or other mechanical action **Cons:** - Significantly higher price compared to similar products - Often requires multiple applications for stubborn clogs - Strong chemical smell - Environmental concerns In summary, Liquid-Plumr Advanced Action is a functional product that does what it claims to a moderate degree, but at a price point that's difficult to justify given its performance.

I tried Liquid-Plumr Advanced Action after my bathroom sink kept draining slowly, and it worked so well! I just poured it in, followed by hot water, waited a bit, and the clog was completely gone—no need to call a plumber. I’ve used it a few times now, and it always clears things fast without a harsh smell. It’s such a relief to have something that actually works when drains start acting up! Definitely keeping this on hand.

Reliable to unclog drains, sink and bath

Bought this product for my sink and it did it's job well. Never had an issue with clogging so far. Will definitely repurchase once it runs out.

Es facil de usar y muy bueno.

My shower drainer pipe got blocked and it took every unblocker liquid I could find and send down to unblock it. In the end I now have this to alleviate problem next time.

Very good product

completely useless. Did not solve any problem (neither it helped a bit).
