Can't find Drano Crystals

Have used the product for decades. Economical and effective.
I can't find it any more. I see the liquid Drano (and similar competition) but you have to use half a bottle and it seems far more messy.

Any suggestions of where to find crystals or maybe another brand that is equally effective for soap, hair, etc?

I'm told it isn't the same formula and doesn't work on hair.

^^^ You would probably be better off shaving vs Using Drano to get rid of body hair.

Sorry, that’s all I got!

Sulfuric acid drain opener. It will burn or dissolve all the hair and other bio stuff off in the trap way. Leave it for 10-15 min., plug up the sink, fill with water and let it go. Do it twice and keep water running for 10 min after that to make sure all is flushed away. Works like magic. Use a dish or something to cover up the drain at sink to prevent splash back and be mindful of finishes like chrome or polish metals. Use a funnel and cover it up after pouring 2 -3 cups in there.

I have had good luck with pool chlorine, followed by hot water with some dish soap. But my drains are ABS. I'm not sure it's a good idea with copper.

And bulk pool chlorine is cheap....

This stuff works great and it's not expensive. Follow the directions and you'll have super clean drains.
