DRAINO

I bought my home 30 years ago when it was first built. So it’s not surprising that recently when I shower, the water in my bathtub is not draining properly. By the time I finish showering I am standing in a small puddle. My first thought was to call my handyman. But he suggested simply cleaning the drain with Draino. And so I tried several times, but it didn’t help. I called my handyman again and he offered another suggestion. “Try digging out the hair with a coat hanger,” he said.

I appreciated his efforts to save me money, but I just didn’t think a coat hanger would do the job. In the meantime, when I mentioned my problem at the bridge club last week, one of the men said that I should leave the Draino in the drain for an hour or so, not just the 15 minutes stated on the instructions. “You need to give it time to really work.” With nothing to lose I tried again. But in the back of my mind, I had decided it was time to consider calling a plumber. Luckily, the one hour Draino treatment actually cleaned out my drain and this morning, I showered without any water swirling around my feet.
