It is safe to put hydrogen peroxide down the drain.

The hydrogen peroxide is actually safe and good for the drain and can help keep the drain clean, sanitized and also keep the drain from smelling.

The reason you pour peroxide down the drain at night is to help clean and sanitize the drain.

Mix one cup of peroxide with one tablespoon of baking soda.

Pour it down the drain. The foam will help clean your drain and leave it smelling fresh.

Hydrogen Peroxide works as an oxidizer.

It's colorless and a bit denser than water.

It works by damaging and destroying organic matter including germs, making it a great disinfectant.

It's also ideal for clearing drain clogs as it eats away the clogged matter.

To get hair out of your shower drain without touching it you can pour some vinegar and baking soda down the drain and leave it overnight to help it dissolve.

The vinegar and baking soda mixture will dissolve the hair and then you can flush the dissolved hair down the drain with some hot water.

If you don't have vinegar you can use Drano or even Coke or Pepsi to help clear the clog of hair in the bathtub.

Hydrogen Peroxide and Baking soda can also help dissolve hair and clear a clog.

Coke can dissolve hair in a drain due to the peptic acid the Coke contains.

Pour a 2-liter bottle of cola such as Pepsi, Coke, or generic brand substitutes down the clogged drain.

Coke and other sodas are actually quite caustic and effective at clearing away buildup in your drains, but it's far milder than commercial drain cleaners.

Coke and Pepsi are loaded with phosphoric acid, which breaks down buildup that can clog your drains!

Phosphoric acid can even remove lime scale and other tough buildup that regular cleaners struggle with.

This is an effective and refreshing home remedy if we ever saw one!

Drano or even some Vinegar and baking soda can easily dissolve hair in a drain.

You can easily dissolve hair in a drain by using some vinegar and baking soda and some boiling water.

Dissolving hair that is stuck in a drain is easy with some vinegar and baking soda.

The vinegar and baking soda will easily dissolve the hair in the drain.

Then you can pour some boiling hot water down the drain to flush it on out.

Baking Soda and Vinegar works great to dissolve hair in a drain and I've used this method successfully before for getting rid of hair that is clogging a drain.

To use Baking Soda and Vinegar to dissolve hair in your drain take 1/2 cup of baking soda and pour it down the drain and then take a 1/2 cup of white vinegar and pour the vinegar down the drain and then cover the drain with a cloth or plastic lid.

Leave the cloth or lid on the drain for 30 minutes to let the Vinegar and Baking soda work to break down the hair in the drain.

After 30 minutes have passed you can remove the cloth or lid off the drain and then pour some boiling hot water down the drain and it should be cleared.

If you have standing water in the sink or tub that the hair is clogging you can use a wet/dry vac to suck the water out of the sink or tub so you can pour the vinegar and baking soda down the drain.
