drain cleaners
Chemical clog removers
Drain cleaners are chemical products designed to dissolve or dislodge blockages in plumbing pipes.
Most contain caustic substances like lye or sulfuric acid that break down hair, grease, and organic matter.
The term also refers to professionals who clear drains mechanically: We had to call the drain cleaners when the snake didn't work.
