I pour a couple of cups of bleach in my drains every few months and let that
sit overnight. This has always helped my bathroom drains. I read that
bleach doesn't necessarity dissolve the hair but it dissolves the gook that
keeps the hair clumped up.
I always notice that the day after I do my bleach treatment the drains flow
like the bleach just tore a new hole in my plumbing. Does anyone know if
bleach is harmful to drain piping?
