10 Best Drain Cleaners of 2022 for Clogged Sinks, Toilets & Tubs
We updated this article in March 2022 to add more information about each featured product, based on extensive testing done by the Good Housekeeping Institute. Our original top-rated picks, selected by the GH Cleaning Lab remain the same with the exception of our original pick for Best Drain Cleaner for Hair Clogs which was replaced with a new pick from Liquid-Plumr.
There are few things more annoying than a slow or clogged drain — greasy water sitting in your kitchen sink, or soapy water standing in your shower or bathtub is not a pretty sight. The good news is that a clogged or slow drain can often be cleared without calling in a plumber.
According to the Good Housekeeping Institute Cleaning Lab experts, the safest first step to clearing any clog is to use the correct plunger based on where a clog is located (sink or toilet). Be sure to cover any overflow outlet first for maximum pressure, turn off the water supply and always use a plunger before (not after!) any chemical cleaner to prevent the chemical from splashing back up onto you or into your eyes. After using a plunger, if the drain is still clogged, a chemical or enzymatic cleaner can help. These are the best drain cleaners, according to testing:

How we test drain cleaners
When evaluating drain cleaning products and tools at the Good Housekeeping Institute, we interview company scientists and review data for product efficacy and safety. We also evaluate how easy and neat the product is to use and how complete and accurate the label and product claims are. We check online reviews of the product and, whenever possible, have it tested by consumers on real at-home clogs. The drain cleaning tools and products listed here were selected based on our past evaluations and experiences with the products, company research and favorable online consumer reviews.
What to look for when shopping for the best drain cleaner.
Different cleaners work for different types and severity of clogs — for example, one that works for a slow-flowing drain will probably not work for a complete blockage. Here are two types of cleaner to look for while shopping:
Enzymatic cleaners are slower to clear clogs but are usually less harmful to your plumbing (or yourself). The enzymes (bacteria) in the cleaner slowly break down organic soils such as hair and food that can be found in your drain but might not be strong enough to dissolve a complete blockage.
Chemical-based drain cleaners work the fastest, but also have the potential to cause more damage. Depending on the type of pipes you have in your home, damage can occur when using chemicals. PVC pipes can warp or soften from heat generated by chemical use. For metal pipes, excessive use can cause pipes to corrode and in extreme cases cause holes to develop.
How to use drain cleaners safely
Here are some important precautions to take when clearing clogged drains:
✔️Precisely follow all directions on a drain cleaner's label. Be sure the room is well-ventilated. Do not leave the drain cleaner inside drains for longer than stated.
✔️Wear gloves and eye protection to protect against splash-back. Do not stand in the tub or shower stall when pouring the drain cleaner.
✔️Carefully pour the drain cleaner to avoid spillage. The caustic nature of some chemical cleaners can damage surrounding stone, marble, stainless steel and other materials. Never mix drain cleaners with other cleaning products — even homemade — or pour a second cleaner down if the first doesn't work. The chemical reaction can cause toxic gas or even an explosion.
✔️Always flush the drain well after using a chemical cleaner, following the package instructions for the temperature of the water and how long you should rinse.
✔️Never try to clear a toilet clog with a chemical cleaner. Use a plunger, a toilet auger (a standard drain snake can damage or crack the porcelain) or a natural enzyme cleaner. If the clog still remains, call in a professional plumber.
How to Make a DIY Drain Cleaner
Once a month or so, we recommend trying this homemade solution. It's not powerful enough to clear a complete clog but can help keep your drains fresh and flowing.
- Mix ½ cup baking soda with ¼ cup table salt and pour it down the drain
- Slowly pour in 1 cup of warmed distilled white vinegar
- Let the foaming bubbles stand 10-15 minutes and then flush with hot tap water for 15-30 seconds.

How to Unclog Toilet Without a Plunger
If you don't have a plunger, you can sometimes get things in working order with a few common household items.

How To Unclog the Toilet Without a Plunger
The best way to handle a clogged toilet is to use a plunger but there might be situations where you don’t have access to one. If If the toilet is clogged and you don’t have a plunger handy, have no fear. There is more than one way to clear out the toilet and some of these ways include common household items that you likely already have.
If a clog is particular troublesome, you may need to use a drain snake to unclog it. But these home remedies will help push through some of the more minor clogs you’re likely to encounter.

Dish Soap
Plunging a clogged toilet is no fun, but there’s a better way. To unclog a toilet without a plunger, head to the kitchen for some dish soap. The slippery soap can help lubricate the clogged pipe and allow the lodged debris to slide down more easily.
Pour about a half-cup into the toilet. If you’re out of dish soap, chop a bar of hand soap into small chunks and drop the pieces into the toilet.

Add Hot Water
If dish soap alone doesn’t do the trick, adding water might move things along. Fill a bucket with hot bath water (boiling water could cause a porcelain toilet to crack) and pour the water into the toilet from waist level. The force of the water could dislodge the cause of the clog.

DIY Wire Hanger Drain Snake
A more severe blockage could require manually moving the item. To do this without a plunger, unravel a wire coat hanger until it’s straight. Push one end of the wire into the clogged area. Prod the debris until it becomes free and flows down the drain. A drain auger is a better choice, but the wire hanger will work in a pinch.

Baking Soda Mixture
As an alternative to using dish soap for those situations where you’re without a plunger, try this all-natural solution. Pour one cup baking soda and two cups vinegar into the toilet. Allow it fizz for a half hour. If clog doesn’t dissipate, try the hot water trick.

Use a Plastic Bottle to Create Water Pressure
This unclogging trick could get messy.
Start by removing as much water from the toilet bowl as possible; you can do this by repeatedly filling a small container with toilet water and pouring the water into a bucket. Next, fill a large plastic bottle with warm water.
Place your thumb over the top of the bottle and fit the top end of the bottle into the outlet at the bottom of the toilet. (You’ll want to wear rubber gloves for this step.) Remove your thumb and squeeze the bottle so the water inside shoots down the pipe. The added pressure could dislodge whatever was causing the clog.

Squirt Gun Toilet Drainer
If you decide to drain your toilet bowl before dealing with the clog, here’s a unique tip to get the water out.
“When you’re repairing or replacing a toilet, you need to remove all the water. Simply shutting off the water supply and flushing won’t do it. A sponge works, but it’s kind of slow. So I use an old squirt gun to suck the water out and squirt it into a bucket, leaving just the last few drops to sponge out.” — reader Dale Conklin.

Top 10 toilet cleaners — Rating 2022 (Top 10)
Cleaning the toilet, or how to clean the "white friend"?

- The best toilet cleaners for medium dirt
- Best Inexpensive Toilet Cleaners
Author: Julia Shevlyakova
Cleaning the toilet is not a very pleasant job, but it is inevitable. We can only reduce the time and effort spent on this routine. A good cleaning agent that combines efficiency, safety and economy will help in this. Today, in our ranking, only the best, most popular and time-tested toilet cleaners.
How to choose a good toilet cleaner?
The best toilet cleaners need to act quickly, clean from various types of dirt and remove the most difficult of them: limescale and rust. Below are the main parameters by which you can choose a successful product.
- Consistency. A gel or viscous texture is optimal. Such products are economical, drain more slowly, they are convenient to apply under the rim of the toilet bowl and in hard-to-reach places. In addition, they dissolve longer, which means they have time to act on pollution under water.
- Composition. Look for acids in the composition: hydrochloric, sulfuric, sulfamic, oxalic, orthophosphoric, formic, citric, etc. These are excellent fighters against rust and calcium deposits - all known limescale. Usually 5-15% acids are enough to keep the toilet bowl clean with timely and regular cleaning. Products with a concentration of 15% or more and a pH of 1-2 are considered highly acidic, they cope with the most persistent pollution. The presence of chlorine (in the form of hypochlorites) adds a strong disinfecting effect and whitens enamel and faience, but be aware that chlorine is quite caustic and requires respiratory protection measures. But lye in sanitary gel is needed only if you plan to use it to clear blockages. But in this case, it is still better to purchase a special remedy for blockages.
- Bottle. The ideal packaging for such a product is an elongated curved bottle with a thin spout. With it, it is easy to dispense the gel and it is convenient to apply it under the rim of the toilet bowl, and this is one of the dirtiest and hardest to reach places. Unfortunately, not all buyers pay attention to the shape of the bottle and after the purchase they suffer with brushes and sponges.

Best hydrochloric acid toilet cleaners (limescale and rust)
Dressing Duck Super Strength GelGood toilet gel containing hydrochloric acid. One of the best in terms of price, convenience and safety of use. Duckling removes up to 100% of dirt, well eliminates limescale. The product is gel-like, of medium density, the original spout allows you to distribute it qualitatively even under the rim of the toilet bowl. Despite the presence of a strong acid, it has a tolerable odor. Key benefits:
Cons:
| 9.9 / 10 Rating Reviews Very good tool, affordable and effective. Thanks to the arched shape of the neck, it is convenient to get it under the rim of the toilet bowl, where dirt accumulates the most and where it is very difficult to get it. |
Cillit BANG anti-plaque+shine gelSilit is a product based on hydrochloric acid, one of the rather aggressive inorganic acids. Hydrochloric acid toilet cleaners work best on limescale and rust. Therefore, the effectiveness of Cilit is very high, but it also requires maximum caution. The composition contains chlorine, which whitens faience well. Users note that with Silit, cleaning the toilet becomes easy, dirt and stripes of rust and plaque are removed quickly, while the smell, although pungent, is tolerable. Main advantages:
Cons:
| 9. 9 / 10 Rating Reviews Toilet Silit will help keep the toilet in order! I highly recommend having it in your home. Easily removes rusty streaks and other dirt. The toilet bowl becomes more brilliant, and this effect remains for a long time. Just hide away from curious kids - a cap without protection. |
Domestos Anti-rust Anti-plaqueConcentrated gel with hydrochloric acid (5-15%) is designed for the most difficult pollution in the bathroom. Removes long-term rust and limescale, has a strong disinfectant effect, eliminates odors. The hostesses are pleased that fresh stains with Domestos do not even need to be rubbed - the thick gel literally dissolves them, all that remains is to wash them off with water. To eliminate old plaque and streaks, you can leave it on surfaces for up to half an hour. Gloves and ventilation are a must, and be careful with chrome and aluminum surfaces - if applied long enough, Domestos won't spare them. Main advantages:
Cons:
| 9. 9 / 10 Rating Reviews This is some kind of magic. For several years I tried to wash the plumbing in a rented apartment, and only this tool coped with it. I already thought that it was just spoiled, but no, it became like new. And without much effort! |
The best toilet cleaners for medium dirt
Bagi Shumanit toilet gelIsraeli agent is positioned as an effective rust remover, calcium deposits. It is worth paying attention to the active ingredients: among them 5-15% citric acid and non-ionic surfactants, without chlorine. Thanks to this composition, the product works well with various types of pollution, but at the same time it is quite gentle on the respiratory organs and skin. It is interesting that the color gel lingers on a dirty surface, but completely drains from a clean one, “prompting” in this way where it is still worth cleaning. We recommend Shumanit as a means for current cleaning, with a very old plaque, you will have to leave it for a long time or clean it several times. Key benefits:
Cons:
| 9.8 / 10 Rating Reviews Washes not only the toilet bowl (limescale), but also the bathtub instantly from yellow after rusty water becomes snow-white. The smell is, of course, but more like a men's cologne. The tool is the best I have ever had. |
AIST Sanox ultraGel with oxalic and sulfamic acids has a delicate effect on the surface, while there is practically no smell of chemicals. The packaging claims a "cleansing accelerator", but this is more of an advertising ploy: it contains only surfactants, acids and flavoring. Cleans the toilet perfectly, removing even complex dirt and old rust. The tool is very budgetary, so you will have to forget about a convenient form with a spout and a cap lock. Main advantages:
Cons:
| 9. 7 / 10 Rating Reviews Cheap, effective remedy! All hostesses should have it for especially hopeless situations. |
Sarma 7 in 1Oxalic acid gel from Nevskaya Kosmetika cleans gently and effectively, leaves the toilet bowl snow-white and fragrant. Sarma does not contain chlorine, so its smell is not so sharp. A powerful antiseptic effect is achieved due to the presence of non-alkonium chloride in the composition, which fights a wide range of bacteria, fungi and mold. In terms of performance, Sarma is approaching more expensive "brothers", and in terms of comfort at work, it completely overtakes them. Less popular than other tools, but deserves a good rating as an inexpensive and really working product. Main advantages:
Cons:
| 9. 6 / 10 Rating Reviews I had to try different toilet cleaners, but each time I returned to Sarma and I probably wouldn’t change it for anything. Always the perfect result and the aroma of freshness in the bathroom. |
Meine Liebe toilet gelEcogel based on mineral acids (5-15%) and non-ionic surfactants with the addition of citric acid does not contain chlorine and abrasives, it is easy to apply and foams well. It copes with "moderate" pollution, removes water stains and rusty streaks, while not irritating the skin of the hands and respiratory organs, and does not spoil the surface. A big plus of this gel is the absence of a strong fragrance. Meine Liebe leaves a light lemon scent after cleaning, which is important for families with children and allergy sufferers. Suitable for regular weekly toilet cleaning. It is capable of peeling off a perennial water stone, but not on the first try. Main advantages:
Cons:
| 9.6 / 10 Rating Reviews The optimal ratio of environmental friendliness, efficiency and price. The smell is not terrible, but quite pleasant. The only eco-friendly gel that removes rust deposits. |
Sanita AntirustSanita will appeal to housewives who are waging an endless war against rust and yellow deposits from poor-quality water. This gel based on a mixture of acids gives a decent result even in advanced cases. Suitable for various surfaces: sanitary ceramics, tiles, enamelled bathtubs and slabs, etc. and even, according to reviews, helps to clean the toilet from blockages. Efficiency is explained by the high content of acids (15-30%). The hostesses are satisfied with Sanita and only complain that the product does not have a more convenient spout. Main advantages:
Cons:
| 9. 5 / 10 Rating Reviews Cleaner Sanita completely suits me. Removes dirt without traces and streaks, is easily washed off with water, does not have a strong odor, quickly removes rust, even a hundred years ago. And the price is cheap. |
Sanfor Active AntirustAn inexpensive domestic product from the Stupino chemical plant has good cleaning ability and successfully removes rusty streaks and limescale. This product contains 15-30% acids, including oxalic acid. The product is evenly distributed over the surface, but flows easily, so it is better to distribute with a brush or brush. Chlorine-free, therefore less odor than chlorine-containing competitors. Main advantages:
Cons:
| 9. 3 / 10 Rating Reviews Surprised and delighted that an inexpensive gel turned out to be so effective. Washes away rust, plaque, shame and sins! Especially good for rust, plaque will have to be rubbed off. No pungent chlorine smell. |
Best Inexpensive Toilet Cleaners
Chistin SanitaryDespite the maximum budget, the product has a convenient bottle, a spout with a lock and amazing efficiency for such a price. It contains a mixture of acids and a corrosion inhibitor, so it is quite corrosive. Consumed quickly. Main advantages:
Cons:
| 9.2 / 10 Rating Reviews Chistin turned out to be a rather liquid remedy, it quickly scatters and flows where it is not needed. Nevertheless, I was very pleased with the result: after 10 minutes, there was no trace of lime strips left. Removes ordinary dirt worse, you need to rub it with a sponge. But, in general, very good! |
whiteness-gelCompletes our roundup of the best toilet cleaners Whiteness is a legendary cleaner and disinfectant that has not lost its relevance today. Sodium hypochlorite solution effectively destroys urinary stone, plaque and rust. For washing toilet bowls, it is used undiluted. Most housewives simply pour "Whiteness" into the toilet for a long time (overnight), and then flush. We recommend this product as an SOS tool to revive neglected plumbing without much effort and expense. Be sure to use PPE, the product is irritating and has a strong smell! "Belizna" is produced by many domestic enterprises in various formats, volumes and packages. For the toilet, choose the gel format: it spreads longer and penetrates deeper into the dirt. Main advantages:
Cons:
| 9.0 / 10 Rating Reviews I pour a third of the bottle into the toilet at night, wash it off in the morning - the smell, the plaque is gone! Clean, fresh and disinfectant. But I don't use it often because of the heavy smell. |
What is the best toilet cleaner?
So, when choosing a toilet cleaner, housewives have to choose between more caustic, but more effective chemical products or less toxic, but also less effective.
