Using drain cleaner/acid in a sink

Jul 31, 2010 2 Replies

I've got some high-strength sulphuric acid that's sold as draincleaner, is it safe to put down a semi-blocked porcelain sink that has a plastic waste-pipe?



What's the procedure for doing this? I am aware that it's not clever to mix this stuff with water.



Should I just stop being lazy and take the trap off and clean it by hand instead?



IMO, if you have to ask, don't use the acid.

Without any doubt, take the trap off. It's only a few minutes' work.
